Microsoft Silverlight is a cross-browser, cross-platform plugin for delivering the next generation of .NET based media experiences and rich interactive applications for the Web. Silverlight offers a flexible programming model that supports JavaScript, .NET, and other languages.Microsoft Silverlight looks like a good challenger to Adobe Integrated Runtime (AIR).
It will be very interesting to keep an eye on these two giant companies as they compete to distribute their cross platform runtime. Both platforms are excellent which makes it very hard for some developers to make the choice between Silverlight or AIR.
Visit Microsoft Silverlight and AIR (Adobe Integrated Runtime) and let us know what you think. It’s going to be interesting!!
