WPF/E is now Microsoft Silverlight

Announcement day for Microsoft today: the codename Windows Presentation Foundation Everywhere (or WPF/E for short) is now called Microsoft Silverlight, as announced yesterday. For us developers, there's also a (and has been for a while already) a developer center on MSDN about WPF/E. They talk about Silverlight already on the front page, but most of the material still refers to the old codename.

What's also interesting is that Adobe has also just today announced Adobe Media Player (Flash needed, surprised?). And as eWeek reports, Microsoft thinks Silverlight is more than a Flash alternative. One thing is for sure: the competition around interactive web content is heating up.
