According to Silverlight's official website:
Silverlight is a powerful development platform for creating engaging, interactive user experiences for Web, desktop, and mobile applications when online or offline.Essentially Silverlight is Microsoft's answer to Adobe's Flash and ASP.NET AJAX. It allows a developer to build applications, create more interactive experiences on their website, move beyond the browser by taking an application offline, stream video at high quality, and runs on any platform and browser.
What I Like
- Scalable and interactive application development.
- Starts up video and plays it quickly. The quality of the video is great. (The Olympics are using Silverlight to stream a good deal of the events).
- Creates competition between services, which will only make the quality of applications that consumers get even better.
What I Don't Like
- Have to develop in Windows.
- Another plug-in I have to install on my computer.
