Microsoft has recently released Silverlight 1.0, a .NET-based competitor to Adobe’s Flash animation product.
This is an interesting strategic move as Microsoft is moving into what is clearly established territory for the Flash brand. Microsoft is extending the reach of the new Windows Presentation Foundations (WPF) to the web with a version being called WPF/E (WPF/Everywhere).
I’ll have a more in-depth look at Silverlight in the next couple of weeks.
