Silverlight 4 contains a ton of new features and capabilities.  In particular we focused on three scenarios with this release:

1.    Further enhancing media support

2.    Building great business applications

3.    Enabling out of the browser experiences

On Tuesday I gave a 60 minute keynote about Silverlight 4 which showed off many of the new features and capabilities now available.  You can watch my keynote to learn more about Silverlight 4 and see a ton of great demos of it in action.

Also check out these three great posts by Tim Heuer that talk about the new features and provide a guide to the new Silverlight 4 capabilities:
