Microsoft Silverlight Released

Posted in Long Tail, News on May 3rd, 2007. By Eduard F. Vinyamata.

Microsoft Silverlight, a technology for animations, vector graphics and video playback was released under a 1.0 beta version just this week. To put it simply, Silverlight is Microsoft’s version of Adobe’s Flash, the software behind countless website services and features, for example YouTube’s streaming video and upload tools.

This TechCrunch article highlights why Silverlight is important. In Arrington’s words: it’s important “to anyone who is thinking about where the web will evolve” because “Silverlight will be the platform of choice for developers who build rich Internet applications”.
