If you want to create content for Silverlight, you'll need Expression Studio and Visual Studio. Microsoft Silverlight can stream high-resolution video well and supports HD-quality videos. If your bandwidth drops below 3Mbps, smooth streaming will kick-in so that your video isn't affected. The smooth streaming feature will iron out many of the streaming problems that have plagued Silverlight in the past. The out-of browser player however is dependent on developers embracing it and as yet, there are few examples available. The most important improvements to the latest version of Microsoft Silverlight are smoother streaming, DRM management, and an out-of browser player.

There is no prompt to restart the browser after installation but I recommend you do so because the first site of Silverlight content I accessed after installation simply crashed the browser. It works with most major browsers, including Firefox and Safari.

Microsoft Silverlight is a lightweight plug-in that allows you to watch Silverlight-based content in your browser.
