Silverlight media capabilities include fast, cost-effective delivery of high-quality audio and video to all major browsers including Firefox, Safari and Internet Explorer running on the Mac or on Windows. By using Expression Studio and Visual Studio, designers and developers can collaborate more effectively using the skills they have today to create Silverlight web experience.
Silverlight as Part of a User-Experience Continuum
Now, more than ever, customers are demanding applications and online experiences that not only meet their individual needs in terms of effectiveness and efficiency, but also address the perception of satisfaction the user has with a company's products or services. In most cases, the level of satisfaction will have a network and an emotional effect, shaping perceptions of the company as a whole, and, as an extension, the perceptions of those with whom the individual comes into touch. Microsoft acknowledges this connection and has a made a renewed commitment to user experience (UX) as a part of the end-to-end experience. UX is more than a pretty UI; it is the aggregation of the interaction point of a user with an application. Our mission is thus to enable a great user experience wherever the customer needs that: on the Web, on devices, in Office, and in Windows.
Two recent examples of Microsoft's own investment in UX are Microsoft Windows Vista and Microsoft Office 2007. By focusing on the end-user experience first, subtle and somewhat radical changes were made to both products in order to address productivity and satisfaction.
Silverlight Architecture
Silverlight has few basic properties:
• It integrates with various browsers on Windows and on the Macintosh.
• It enables rendering of richer user experiences that are defined by XAML.
• It render media (music and video).
• It enables programming that is consistent with the Web programming model.
• It is small.
