Microsoft Silverlight, The alleged "Adobe Flash killer", is the new Plugin Platform for delivery of rich interactive media applications on the Web. It is currently available on windows (Vista and XP) and Mac OS X (10.4.8 and Later),supported by three browsers-Internet Explorer,Firefox, and Safari. High Definition (720p)content will also get better delivery support with WMV,and Silverlight brings the SMPTE ( Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers) VC-1 standard to the Web. Silverlight Streaming Services has also been announced , wherein users and developers can host Silverlight content. A Linux Version will be developed by Mono, an Open-Source Development Platform for the .NET-Framework.
Whether Silverlight will gain ground over Asobe's Flash and other solutions for delivery of rich media experience will be known only after the release of the version.
