Today at the Silverlight FireStarter event we unveiled the
next release of Silverlight.
Silverlight
5 adds significant new features and capabilities, and enables developers to
create premium media experiences and deliver rich applications across browsers,
desktops and devices. In my keynote this
morning we demonstrated a number of them, and highlighted both the
developer productivity Silverlight 5 provides and the great new user
experiences it enables. You can watch my keynote here.
A Silverlight 5 beta will be available in the first half of
next year, and the final release will ship in the second half of 2011.
