I haven’t blinked… yet, and there’s a new Silverlight version. After listening to Hanselminutes I notice that Microsoft is trying to start with out-of-the browser cross-platform applications, which is Silverlight 3. The beta you can download here: http://silverlight.net/getstarted/silverlight3/default.aspx Silverlight 3 will be integrated into Blend 3, which is also a free beta download.

I guess this will be the answer to Adobe AIR (or Adobe Integrated Runtime). Air uses Flex and Flash, HTML, JScript and AJAX, Silverlight 3 uses a mini CLR, JScript and XAML.

I’m by no means a Silverlight expert, nor AIR for that matter, so I guess this means that I’ll have something more to study. First WPF though…
