ENT News | at | by Mike
The first public beta of Silverlight 2.0 is expected from Microsoft in the next few weeks. By all accounts, those that have seen the private beta report that the features outlined by the General Manager of Microsoft's Developer Division, Scott Guthrie, in a November blog posting are pretty much on track.
Silverlight 2.0 will provide a subset of the .NET Framework and Windows Presentation Foundation so that developers and designers can build rich Internet applications. Silverlight 1.0, which shipped in September, is primarily a media player for video and other content that uses a JavaScript programming model.
