今天Microsoft終於向使用者發佈 Silverlight 2

Microsoft Silverlight是一個跨瀏覽器的、跨平台的套件，為網絡帶來下一代基於.NET的媒體體驗和豐富的交互式應用程序。Silverlight提供靈活的編程模型，並可以很方便地集成到現有的網絡應用程序中。Silverlight可以對執行在MAC或Windows上的主流瀏覽器提供高解析度、低網路流量的傳輸。

另外，據 Mary Jo Foley 稱 Silverlight 將會支援 Google Chrome 瀏覽器，但不支援 iPhone（Flash 播放器也不支援 iPhone，看起來是蘋果不允許第三方開發）；微軟計劃在 PDC 上公開目前 Silverlight for Windows Mobile 的情況；微軟目前在和 Nokia 合作開發 Symbian 手機上的 Silverlight；有傳言稱微軟和 RIM 共同開發黑莓上的 Silverlight。

更新內容：

NET Framework support with a rich base class library. This is a compatible subset of the full .NET Framework.
Powerful built-in controls. These include DataGrid, ListBox, Slider, ScrollViewer, Calendar controls and more.
Advanced skinning and templating support. This makes it easy to customize the look and feel of an application.
Deep zoom. This enables unparalleled interactivity and navigation of ultrahigh resolution imagery.
Comprehensive networking support. Out-of-the-box support allows calling REST, WS*/SOAP, POX, RSS and standard HTTP services, enabling users to create applications that easily integrate with existing back-end systems. • Expanded .NET Framework language support. Unlike other runtimes, Silverlight 2 supports a variety of programming languages, including Visual Basic, C#, JavaScript, IronPython and IronRuby, making it easier for developers already familiar with one of these languages to repurpose their existing skill sets.
Advanced content protection. This now includes Silverlight DRM, powered by PlayReady, offering robust content protection for connected Silverlight experiences.
Improved server scalability and expanded advertiser support. This includes new streaming and progressive download capabilities, superior search engine optimization techniques, and next-generation in-stream advertising support.
Vibrant partner ecosystem. Visual Studio Industry Partners such as ComponentOne LLC, Infragistics Inc. and Telerik Inc. are providing products that further enhance developer capabilities when creating Silverlight applications using Visual Studio.
Cross-platform and cross-browser support. This includes support for Mac, Windows and Linux in Firefox, Safari and Windows Internet Explorer.

註：Silverlight 2 Beta版

Silverlight 2 Beta 1 是在2008年3月5日於 Las Vegas 舉辦的 MIX 08大會上發佈，這一版本的Silverlight不允許用於商業開發，主要是微軟考慮到之後的 Silverlight版本較Silverlight 2 Beta 1會有較大的改動，並且之後版本Silverlight的runtime也對Silverlight 2 Beta 1的應用不支援。

Silverlight 2 Beta 2於2008年6月6日正式發佈，其下載大小為4.6MB，在機器上安裝所花時間少於10秒，不用安裝.NET框架或其他任何軟體就可以工作，所有的功能在Macintosh和Windows機器上都能跨瀏覽器工作，這些功能在Linux上將由Moonlight 2提供。Silverlight 2 Beta 2支援一個go-live許可，它允許開始使用和部署Silverlight 2於商業應用中，在Beta 2與最終版間，會有一些API變動，所以用Beta 2編寫的應用在最終版出來時需要做些更新，但這些變動將是直截了當和比較容易的。
