I have a feeling that this particular one is desktop one (but I do not know for sure) because I believe I saw it mentioned it was a 15 meg download, which is pretty hefty for a plug in.The major browsers support it, although it is rather new with a low development base which is probably why you did not hear of it before. You can see a showcase of stuff done in it here <a href="http://www.silverlight.net/showcase/" target="_blank">Showcase : The Official Microsoft Silverlight Site</a>.I personally doubt it will ever catch on for web however, there is already flash for art centric, Java for code; and world is moving away from plug-ins. It is however what is used for making windows phone 7 applications and I believe the future of silverlight lies there.</blockquote>
