How will Silverlight be distributed by Microsoft?
Microsoft designed Silverlight to fit a broad range of uses that require reach and a compelling user experience. Both third-party customers around the world and internal customers at Microsoft continue to embrace Silverlight. Examples of worldwide third-party customers and partners include ET Online, NBA, Major League Baseball, World Wrestling Entertainment, Home Shopping Network from USA; QuickSilver from France; BMW and Vodafone from Germany; Miniclip and British Library from UK; Baidu from China, to name a few. Examples of internal Microsoft customers include are MSN, Halo 3, and www.microsoft.com, which are leading global websites that serve millions of customers worldwide. In addition, Microsoft Update and Windows System Update Service also serve as Silverlight distribution channels. And this is just the beginning. With an exciting customer pipeline, like the Beijing 2008 Olympics, Silverlight is clearly on an upward rising adoption curve.
