Microsoft Silverlight is a web application framework something very similar to Adobe Flash. When the framework was first announced way back in 2006, it provided limited functionalities, but now after years of development, the framework has evolved into a mature platform and poses a serious threat to Adobe Flash. Silverlight 3.0 was first announced at the MIX09(Web Design and Development Conference) event. Available as beta version since the announcement, Silverlight 3.0 has undergone a variety of changes and bug fixes. Now after almost 4 months, Microsoft finally decided to ship the final version of their web application framework today. The latest version is now available for download and the compatible browsers for now seems to be Windows Internet Explorer 6/7/8, Firefox 2/3, and Safari 3/4. Microsoft promises that Silverlight 3.0 would deliver "high-definition video in full-screen mode, with stutter-free live and on-demand video". Hit on the read link for the download page and test drive the latest version yourself.
