Emerging Technologies: Microsoft Silverlight

Adobe's Flash is a tool that allows Web site developers to create Web-based animations. Microsoft announced last year in April that they were planning to create something to compete with it, named Silverlight.

Microsoft Silverlight hasn't really taken off - I really hadn't heard much about it until recently - Microsoft has made the Web browser plug in available through Windows Update, and have announced that they are planning to redesign their entire Web site using Silverlight.
