Microsoft Silverlight Review
Microsoft Silverlight, Microsoft's response to Adobe Air, is a lightweight plug-in designed for watching Silverlight-based content in browsers. It streams high-resolution and HD videos with smooth streaming support. Despite its initial aim to compete with Adobe Flash, it now faces competition from Adobe Air in the Web 2.0 platform realm.
Microsoft Silverlight excels in streaming quality videos and offers features like DRM management and an out-of-browser player. However, it lacks support for Flash and AAC content, is prone to bugs on Mac, and may have delays in starting streams. The latest version introduces smoother streaming and enhanced developer tools, making it more suitable for business applications.
