Microsoft Silverlight is similar to Adobe Flash Player with improved GUI.
Silverlight is the Microsoft equivalent of Adobe Flash player. Silverlight is an internet 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.
Pros
- Great User Interface
- 3D Support
- Easy Programming
Cons
- Needs a good processor and graphics card

I have both the Adobe flash recent additions on XP Pro SP3 and Silverlight 5. Is it advisable to keep both programs or do they interfere with each other?
So far I've seen only one web-page using Silverlight and it was pretty annoying.
