What is Silverlight?

Silverlight is a cross-browser, cross-platform and cross-device browser plug-in that helps companies design, develop and deliver rich applications and experiences on the Web. Think of Silverlight as Flash, but you get to use C# or Visual Basic, and the .NET Framework you know and love.
