Sounds a bit like Adobe Flash Yes, and no… There is a lot of overlap between Flash and Silverlight Think of Silverlight foremost as a business application builder, but it can do Flash-like stuff too… Also think of Silverlight as being more of a delivery method than Flash… Whereas Flash is more like the actual content (often games and advertisements) delivered via the web Sliverlight is both a web delivery method and a framework for building business oriented RIAs
