Already Microsoft has begun the push for Silverlight. Along the simular lines with asp.net I have noticed that Silverlight.net already has a fair amount of video and documentation available. I even have downloaded the 'plug-in' to view Silverlight content.
The video's for anyone interested are here: http://silverlight.net/learn/learnvideos.aspx (which I truely recommend viewing) and for any of you .net fans out there checkout this video http://silverlight.net/learn/learnvideo.aspx?video=143 which is about the integration of Silverlight and .net.
I am seriously looking forward to having a play with this as I can think of a lot of applications that I can either write or play with that will come alive with a tight interaction between .net and a 'flashy' (sorry - 'silverlight') user interface.

After 6 months in a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom pad in Ipswich Claire decided that it would be sensible to maybe downgrade to a smaller place as we rarely used the second bedroom. So Claire found a pad one level below us in Capstam and we moved the first bits in this weekend. We don't officially pick up the keys till this weekend but while I was there we moved the sofa's and fridge freezer in. Anyway here are a few pictures.
Check out the bow on the loo

Microsoft have finally released there Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) and have called it 'Silverlight'. This is very exciting as they have been busy working on this for some time now and I believe it integrates with the .net platform.
For a sneak peak of what Silverlight can do click the logo below
