WPF/E Gets a Name ... That looks like a Code Name

Microsoft Silverlight

What do you get if you give WPF/E a sexy new name and a sexy new logo (So so pretty!)? .... You get Microsoft Silverlight

"Silverlight is a cross-browser, cross-platform plug-in for delivering the next generation of media experiences and rich interactive applications (RIAs) for the Web."

Check out Tim Sneath's blog entry for a nice top ten list of reasons why you might want to use Silverlight (aside from the cool name and logo). I wonder if his number 10 reason is the "sneak peek" Scott Guthrie mentioned during his channel 9 interview?

There are just not enough hours in the day to check out all of the amazing new stuff coming for developers ... or to reel off the puns that immediately spring to mind ... Go towards the light, Have you seen the light?, there is a silver lining, this will really light up your web experience.... Oh what fun times are ahead!

The timestamps for comments or posts seems off by the way. The previous comment says April 17, 3:52 AM, but the post itself says April 17, 6:45 PM. I'm fast, but I'm not THAT fast ;)
