Silverlight is Microsoft's cross-browser, cross platform plug-in for media experiences and rich interactive applications. Silverlight 3 was released July 9, 2009

Microsoft Silverlight is an application framework for writing and running rich Internet applications with emphasis on multimedia, animations, and graphics, with features and purposes similar to those of Adobe Flash. The run-time environment for Silverlight is available as a plug-in for most web browsers.
