Microsoft puts spotlight on Silverlight
Major update planned for web-app builder next year

Microsoft
has laid out new plans for its
Silverlight rich
internet application development software.
The company plans to issue a major update to Silverlight in the coming year
that will add new functionality. The first public beta release of Silverlight
2.0 is slated for early 2008.
Scott Guthrie, general manager of Microsoft's developer division, outlined
the planned improvements to Silverlight in a
company
blog.
The new version will include a "cross-platform, cross-browser" version of
Microsoft's .Net framework allowing developers to create rich internet
applications in different programming languages.
Guthrie also revealed that Silverlight 2.0 will allow developers to use the
Windows
Presentation Foundation interface design tool.
Silverlight 2.0 will feature support for several new networking protocols to
give developers the ability to connect rich internet applications to different
data sources over the web.
The first test versions of the software were labelled Silverlight 1.1, but
Guthrie decided to change the label as the new features piled up.
"After stepping back and looking at all the new features we realised that
calling it a point release does not reflect its true nature," he wrote. "We will
refer to it as Silverlight 2.0 going forward."
