Mix 08: Key Announcements
Filed Under (Microsoft, Silverlight) by harjeetkumar on 05-03-2008
I’ve just been watching the live Mix webcast. There have been some great demos and interesting announcements already!
Internet Explorer 8.0 beta 1 now available for download at http://www.microsoft.com/ie/ie8. The demo showed of this really cool feature around web slices where you can add content such key information from an ebay auction into your favorites toolbar.
Silverlight 2.0 beta 1 is available for download. Silverlight 2.0 is going to be extremely cool as it’ll see the next wave of rich advertising, adaptive bandwidth use and a lot more..
I’ll update this post with more information at the end of the webcast!
Update: Check out the Silverlight 2.0 demo at http://memorabilia.hardrock.com/. This shows off the seadragon or deep zoom technology from MS Research.
