investments to help companies more efficiently and affordably engage
with their customers through a rich, interactive presence on the Web.
This includes the release of Microsoft Silverlight 3 Beta and
Expression Blend 3 Preview, and continued progress in the cloud with
updates to the Azure Services Platform. The company also pointed to
strong momentum in platform adoption and demonstrated a number of
solutions from key partners including Netflix Inc., Bondi Digital
Publishing, StackOverflow.com and KEXP. In addition, building on the
success of Silverlight during the Beijing Games, NBC Universal has
again chosen Silverlight to deliver the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Winter
Games on its official Web site, NBCOlympics.com.
The Business Imperative of a Return on Experience
Organizations that create more intuitive, more engaging experiences on
the Web are able to reduce costs and increase sales. Their visitors
find the information they want faster, their customers make fewer
calls to support help desks, and the number of impulse purchases made
by customers generated grows dramatically. The integrated and
interoperable offerings from Microsoft, composed of software and
services for desktop, datacenters and the cloud, help organizations
deliver richer, more compelling experiences that they require both in
and out of the browser, and give them enhanced "return on experience"
that the current economic climate demands.
Silverlight 3 Beta Released
Silverlight 3 empowers Web developers and designers to build the best
experiences for their customers through the creation of cutting-edge
Web applications. Silverlight 3 helps rich Internet application (RIA)
developers work faster with new graphics, animation and 3-D features,
and more than 60 controls. Silverlight 3 also ushers in a new
generation of high-quality and high-definition video experiences with
true high-definition video in full-screen mode, with stutter-free live
and on-demand video. Silverlight 3 also gives users more video format
choices than ever before, including H.264, along with enhancements
such as deep linking, to improve navigation in Silverlight content and
automate search engine optimization (SEO) tasks. Finally, Silverlight
3 enables developers to create lightweight Web application experiences
that can exist outside the browser. This enables Web sites to deliver
more persistent relationships with their customers.
