The latest release of Silverlight - ver.4 was released earlier this year. For me this was the first Silverlight release that was stable and mature enough so that I could recommend to anyone building business applications to use it broadly.

Now, six months later, we can see that the Silverlight adoption is very high and that there are a lot of great tools built with it. Regardless of all the recent comments and mostly speculations about the future of Silverlight I believe that this will be the primary MS platform for building applications for Windows and Mac in years to come. At MIX this year, the Silverlight platform was also introduced to the mobile world making its debut as the primary platform available for building Windows Phone 7 tools and applications. In the near future Silverlight is coming and to windows embedded. Silverlight is also available in out-of-browser mode, so that users can install and run the applications from their web browser directly on their PCs.
