Mix07 keynote

Ray arrived to whoops and cheers following the fanfare of the silverlight video you have probably seen. SaaS with the client; or software plus service was a feature early on.

He talked about bringing together universal web and 'experience first' approaches with silverlight, and the forthcoming 2 parts of the announcements about silverlight. As suspected he described it as the .Net runtime environment brought to the universal web as part 2.

Expression studio launched, and the 3rd part is silverlight streaming which provides a CDN for hosting silverlight content. Needless to say, providing consumers with the ability to take advantage of this platform will be a priority for us.

A new version of the silverlight plugin with .Net is available now.
