Hantro describes Silverlight as a “cross-browser, cross-platform plugin [delivering] media and rich interactive applications for the web.” Like Adobe Flash, it aims to provide provide rich media content to PCs and to mobile devices.
Seems they got to know the power of Flash after a long time not sure silverlight is really competitive to Adobe Flash. But I love Adobe Flash 🙂
