Ever heard of Silverlight !!!

Huh, seems like nothing to do with technology stuff...
But strangely though, you won't believe Microsoft has adopted a fascinating way of grabbing your attention.
Unlike, Mac guys, who name something like Jaguar, Tiger, Leopard, etc. to their OS, Microsoft is in the blues with Vista and now Silverlight.
Silverlight, in essence, is a cross-browser, cross-platform plugin for delivering next-generation media experiences and rich interactive applications for the Web solutions.
It offers a very flexible programming model that can supports any of the JavaScript, Visual C#, Visual Basic, and other languages.
So now you know about Silverlight. Go ahead and download its 1.1 version currently available.
Want to have a quick look at what Silverlight has to offer, check out the Tim Sneath's blog, who has several short webcasts for Silverlight:

Neeraj,
Hey ! that's real cool stuff. I saw ur post here and tried some more googling, just to find the whole new world of Silverlight. Microsoft has come a long way to counter its competitors with such an efficient way of rich multi-media enabled web site developments.
Thanks for showing the direction.
