Silverlight 1.0 is here!

Finally, its here for Windows and Mac: Silverlight 1.0. Times are exciting for Flash-like web applications, as I never got a hang of Adobe/Macromedia Flash. But Expression seems easy enough for me, plus the .NET Framework that is behind really is powerful.

Microsoft also announced Expression Encoder, which can convert video files to Silverlight's own optimized video format.

Finally, there's the Silverlight 1.0 SDK, which is free for everyone.
