Microsoft released self-proclaimed “Flash Killer”: Silverlight
April 16, 2007
Yesterday, Microsoft announced their “next-generation, cross-platform, cross-browser web client runtime“.
Microsoft® Silverlight™ is a new cross-platform, cross-browser plug-in for delivering the next generation of media experiences and rich interactive applications (RIAs) for the Web. Combining video, audio, animation and graphics in a rich way, Microsoft Silverlight, previously called Windows® Presentation Foundation Everywhere (WPF/E), integrates with existing Web technologies and assets to provide high-quality experiences with low media delivery costs.
Silverlight is delivered to end users through a small one-time installation, offering consistent experiences to both Macintosh and Windows users on a variety of browsers including Internet Explorer®, Firefox and Safari. Silverlight will be available to customers on April 30, 2007.
