Microsoft Silverlight

Silverlight is a cross-browser, cross-platform plug-in for delivering the next generation of Microsoft .NET–based media experiences and rich interactive applications for the Web.

Features:

• Based on the Microsoft .NET Framework, Silverlight enables developers and designers to easily use existing skills and tools to deliver media experiences and rich interactive applications (RIAs) for the Web.
• Simple integration with existing Web technologies and assets
• Choice of development languages including JavaScript, Ruby, Python, C#, Microsoft Visual Basic .NET, and more.
• Dramatically improved performance for AJAX–enabled Web sites with the power, performance, and flexibility of Silverlight and .NET-connected software.
• Unified media format that scales from high definition (HD) to mobile with Windows Media Video (WMV), the Microsoft implementation of the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) VC-1 video standard, as well as support for Windows Media Audio (WMA) and MP3 audio.
• Easily mash-up and incorporate services and data from anywhere on the Web by taking advantage of the Silverlight support for LINQ and LINQ-to-XML while accessing that data with common protocols like JSON, RSS, POX, and REST.

In short it delivers media experiences and rich interactive applications for the Web that incorporate video, animation, interactivity, and stunning user interfaces. Seamless, fast installation for users, thanks to a small, on-demand, easy-to-install plug-in.
