Silverlight is a powerful development platform for creating engaging, interactive user experiences for the Web, desktop, and mobile applications. Silverlight is a free plug-in, powered by the .NET framework and compatible with multiple browsers, devices and operating systems, bringing a new level of interactivity wherever the Web works. Silverlight enables a new class of rich, secure and scalable cross-platform experiences. Silverlight runtimes support rich media capabilities and enable fast, cost-effective delivery of high-quality audio and video to all major web browsers. Silverlight offers business value in three key areas:

• Provides greatly enhanced user experience on the web that functions much like a desktop application. This enhanced functionality makes applications more distinct, competitive, and efficient.
• Reduces the time-to-market for interactive web applications.
