What is Silverlight?

Microsoft Silverlight

The newly released framework, Microsoft Silverlight, was recently unveiled as a proprietary motion graphics framework, that is designed to compete directly with Adobe Flash and with elements of Ajax.

Silverlight applications can be created in any .NET programming language (i.e., C++) and can be used to create interactive applications or to display video or audio presentations.

Silverlight is used in conjunction with both XAML and Javascript, and is capable of taking input from the user from both keyboard and text, as well as displaying JPEGS, vector graphics and full motion video.
