Microsoft Silverlight is a programmable web browser plugin that enables
features such as animation, vector graphics and audio-video playback that
characterize rich internet applications. Silverlight competes with products
such as Adobe Flash, Adobe Flex, Adobe Shockwave, and JavaFX. Version 2.0,
now in beta-testing, brings improved interactivity and support for .NET
languages and development tools.
