May 1, 2007 by Geeks are Sexy | 2 comments
Microsoft has just released Beta 1.0 of Silverlight, a cross-browser, cross-platform plug-in for delivering the next generation of .NET based media experiences and rich interactive applications for the Web. You could say that Silverlight is Microsoft’s attempt to produce a flash killer. For now, the plugin is only compatible with Windows and OSX, but a Linux version should come out eventually.
You can download Silverlight (Beta) right here, and when it’s installed, see it in action at the bottom of this page.
- Firefox 3 Beta 1 hits the web
- Google Native Client: web deluxe, or ActiveX redux?
- Microsoft introduces ultra-secure web browser
- Vista SP2 Now Available for Download!

Interesting however how safe can it be? Is it just another ploy to take the market share from Firefox?
I just check my stat and over 1.2 million log with Ff compare to 300,00.

Hey there,
From Flash you mean right? Firefox isn’t really related to Silverlight, more to Internet explorer!
