What is Silverlight?
Silverlight is a cross-browser, cross-platform plug-in for delivering the next generation of media experiences and rich interactive applications (RIAs) for the Web.
Community Server 2007 Released

There are three types of commercial licenses available: Small Business Edition, Professional Edition, and Enterprise Edition.
As in the previous versions, free licenses are also available.

Hotfix Patch for ASP.NET Compilation Issues
If you often run into runtime exceptions as a result of ASP.NET 2.0 compilation, you might want to try out this hotfix.
Scott Guthrie has a blog post describing the compilation bug and offers a workaround for these issues (besides the hotfix solution).
Word of advice here is that only apply the hotfix patch if you really have an ASP.NET compilation issue.
