The latest version of Sliverlight, Silverlight 3, was released today - a day earlier then expected, as it was supposed to be out officially on July 10 only. Silverlight 3 supports Internet Explorer version 6/7/8, Firefox 2/3 and Safari 3/4 browsers - currently there is no support for Opera or Chrome browsers.
Microsoft has rolled out Silverlight 3 with a lot of new stuff including the Smooth screening feature. Silverlight is a browser plugin that enables rich media experience, audio playback, vector graphics and animation.
Microsoft's Silverlight is a direct rival of Adobe Flash and is available for download from Microsoft's Silverlight site.
Some key highlights:
- Support for Higher Quality Video & Audio.
- Empowering Richer Experiences.
- Improving Rich Internet Application Productivity.
- Advanced Accessibility Features.
- Out of Browser Capabilities.
