In 2007, the very first version of Microsoft Silverlight was made available to the public.
It was a Microsoft ambition to provide a platform for rich internet applications.
Since the moment it was released, it was often compared with Adobe Flash.
In the past Microsoft Silverlight had been used by NBC to broadcast 2008 Summer Olympics and 2010 Winter Olympics.
The supported browsers are Mozilla Firefox, Safari, and Internet Explorer 7 up to Internet Explorer 11.
It is a win-win solution for everyone.
Still, no matter how good Microsoft Silverlight is, it has been discontinued.
So, people are advised to use HTML5 instead.
