Yes. It is using Silverlight. You can tell from this part in the source:

requiredSilverlightVersion: "4.0.50401"

Do you know which parts are using silverlight? – Mahdi Ghiasi Aug 05 '12 at 01:06
@Blender: I was going to mention that too, but it could have just been an incredible coincidence, so... :) – Ry- Aug 05 '12 at 01:06

@MahdiGhiasi: No, and I'm not going to reverse-engineer it and find out. (Although one can infer that there is at least a slideshow using it - see `Microsoft.Live.Silverlight.Slideshow.xap` in the source also.) – Ry- Aug 05 '12 at 01:07

@Blender It can be just a small part of site! not whole site! – ahmadali shafiee Aug 05 '12 at 01:08

@ahmadalishafiee: If it's a part of the site, the site is using it. That was your original question, no? – Blender Aug 05 '12 at 01:13
@Blender I didn't say my question correct. I edited it's title. – ahmadali shafiee Aug 05 '12 at 01:16
