It runs in all popular browsers, including Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera.

Silverlight can support wide range of interactive experiences. Silverlight 2 is a complete platform with significant value and flexibility as a platform enabling many implementation choices.It combines different technologies into a single development platform thus providing the flexibility of selecting tools and programming language you want to use. Silverlight integrates seamlessly with your existing Javascript and ASP.NET AJAX code to complement functionality which you have already created.
