Microsoft Silverlight 3 released already!

US based software giant Microsoft has released the version 3 of their Silverlight technology for web browsers.

Microsoft Silverlight is a rival of Adobe Flash platform which is used by millions of websites worldwide.

Microsoft calls Silverlight a cross-browser, cross-platform, and cross-device plug-in for delivering media experiences and interactive applications for the Web.

The first version of Microsoft Silverlight was launched in 2007 and the company has been actively working on enhancing the capabilities of this product.

Microsoft has said that the latest version of Silverlight comes with improved streaming capabilities which they call Smooth Streaming.

The company added:

If the Internet bandwidth and video rendering capability on your playback device are sufficiently high, you’ll experience high-definition video playback of the sample content. You will also be able to simulate end user experiences under varying conditions by simulating drops and recoveries in bandwidth. If your actual bandwidth is below 3 Mbps, or your playback device is video-challenged, then you will experience the adaptive nature of Smooth Streaming without needing to simulate a bandwidth cap.
