What is Microsoft Silverlight®?

From http://www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight

Silverlight is a powerful development platform for creating rich media applications and business applications for the Web, desktop, and mobile devices.

Silverlight is a free plug-in powered by the .NET framework that is compatible across multiple browsers, devices and operating systems to bring a new level of interactivity wherever the Web works. With support for advanced data integration, multithreading, HD video using IIS Smooth Streaming, and built in content protection, Silverlight enables online and offline applications for a broad range of business and consumer scenarios.

Silverlight is supported by all major browsers on both Mac OS X and Windows. Particular care is being taken to account for differences in platform and browser capabilities to ensure a consistent experience, including experiences on Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, and now Google Chrome.
