Microsoft Silverlight code name “WPF/E”
First thing I thought about when I heard about WPF/E was that it's Microsoft's answer to Flash. Nothing wrong with that, but now when I saw the official name I thought the exact same thing! Silverlight, Flash, silverlight, flash.... Hmmmm... Just another name for flash :) I wonder if this was what they meant. At least they didn't end up with Microsoft Windows Presentation Foundation for Extreme Internet Graphical User Interface (MWPFEIGUI) or something like that. Guess they saw the
blog post
over at Secret Geek. Anyway, I'm looking forward to do some real coding on Silverlight and for the record; here are the
official Silverlight
page.
Update: For more info about Silverlight, check out

Actually it's even funnier: Microsoft's internal codename for WPF/E - now Silverlight - is actually Sparkle!!! That's a synonym for flash :)

Actually, Sparkle is the codename for Microsofts Expression Interactive Designer tool.., my bad! Still, that's also part of Microsoft strategy to kill of Flash, and probably what you'll use to create design elements for your Silverlight web apps :|
