Silverlight is a powerful development tool for creating engaging, interactive user experiences for Web and mobile applications. Silverlight is a free plug-in, powered by the .NET framework and compatible with multiple browsers, devices and operating systems, bringing a new level of interactivity wherever the Web works.
The following review written by one of the Software Informer contributors applies to version 4.0
Silverlight is the Microsoft equivalent of Adobe Flash player. Silverlight is an internet application. It can be installed in Microsoft Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari and Google Chrome. Nowadays Microsoft is designing their software to suit Macintosh too. Silverlight can be installed on newer versions of Intel-based Mac OSX. There is the Out of Browser component of Silverlight that can be used to create web based desktop applications. The stunning graphics are obviously worth mentioning wnen talking about this application.
The objective of Silverlight is to provide a computer user with an improved interface in web applications. Images of the highest resolution, full HD videos, etc are all supported. 3D imaging is also very easy with Silverlight.
With Silverlight development tools available in the latest version of Microsoft Visual Studio, it is very easy to create an application. Any kind of data or control can be added to the web application. We can also install a standalone version of Silverlight SDK free of charge.
Improved GUI with 3D is made possible with the new .Net 3.x programming interface. But the only problem is that we need faster CPU and GPU, more memory, and wider internet bandwidth.
Great User Interface.
3D Support.
Easy Programming.
Needs a good processor and graphics card.

— Install silverlight on LG6500 42" LED 3d tv Can I ??
Pros: streaming 3D
Cons: Is it compatible with LG 3d TV ??
Comment: I have been told silverlight is the best format for 3d streaming ! However when I go to install it
on my tv it offers me a product call moonlight which it says is unstable and could crash my browser.
Does anyone have any suggestions ??? Should i install another format it comes up and says linux is compatible with moonlight !! Thanks
Off subject; this is supposed to be a Q&A or FAQ for Microsoft Silverlight... One of three things could be your problem, though, if your Win7 is telling you it is not registered.
You are using a trial version and it's expired, You installed a legal copy, but forgot to activate
during the number of days it tells you to do so, or you're trying to run an illegal/pirated copy.
First solution - buy a copy (they can be had for a low price at a number of online marketers. Second
solution - activate Win7; if it's a legal version, it will tell you to activate it and give you the
directions for doing so, either online, or by phone (automated, unless you have a problem and it
passes you off to a live person). And three, who cares about helping a thief! Follow the First
solution!
