Microsoft's blogger extraordinaire Scott Guthrie
posted a missive about Silverlight 3 to his blog on Monday. But you could miss it if you blink.
Microsoft
will ship Silverlight 3 next year, he wrote. Microsoft will deliver
media enhancements such as H.264 video support and 3D support and GPU
hardware acceleration. It is worth noting that Adobe added 3D
capabilities to Flash player 10, which is already available. Expect
Adobe and Microsoft to be playing a game of leap frog for the
indefinite future.
Silverlight 3 will also deliver application development improvements including:
-richer data-binding support
-additional controls
-an editable and interactive designer for Visual Studio and Visual Web Developer Express
"Note
these are just a small sampling of the improvements - we have plenty of
additional cool features we are going to keep up our sleeves a little
longer. ;-)," he wrote.
Now it's up to us to dig up the rest of the story. ;-)
