Microsoft is planning a major announcement surrounding its
Silverlight
web application tool.
The company has notified reporters of a conference call scheduled for 0900 US
Pacific time (1700 GMT) on 13 October.
Scott Guthrie, .Net corporate vice president at Microsoft, will make what the
company calls a "significant announcement related to Microsoft Silverlight".
The release did not provide any further details about the nature of the
announcement. However, media reports citing sources within the company appear to
confirm the imminent announcement of Silverlight 2.0.
The second instalment of Microsoft's web app development system has been in
public testing throughout the year and a release candidate was said to be
completed in September.
Silverlight 2.0 has been touted as a significantly stronger version of the
platform. The software will be cross-platform and cross-browser, and Microsoft
has promised to add a number of new components to allow Silverlight to access
new data sources and take advantage of Microsoft's Windows Presentation
Foundation.
