Silverlight 2 RTM (Oct. 14th 2008) ???

Posted by anogueira on October 13, 2008

Just reading a Microsoft Press release today looks like the RTM version will be available tomorrow. From the press release

Silverlight 2 will be available for download on Tuesday, Oct. 14, at http://www.microsoft.com/silverlight. Customers already using a previous version of Silverlight will be automatically upgraded to Silverlight 2.

Is that true ? If so, tomorrow is going to be a big day

Also interesting to see on the press release that the plug-in is already available in 1 out of 4 machines worlwide. That’s a huge markeshare improvement.

“We launched Silverlight just over a year ago, and already one in four consumers worldwide has access to a computer with Silverlight already installed…” 

I guess the realization of the RIA era is becoming more real…
