Microsoft corp. released the beta version of its Rich-Internet Application (RIA) development tool Silverlight 3.0, and previewed its user interface design tool Expression Blend 3, both equipped with new functionality for developers and designers to create evermore interactive sites, according to one executive. "Silverlight has been a really important investment for us, and we're continuing that investment with Silverlight 3.0," said Daniel Shapiro, product manager with Microsoft Canada Inc.rnThe announcements, made at the Redmond, Wash.-based Web technologies conference MIX09 in Las Vegas, extend Microsoft's vision of software+services, or the idea that the interaction of software and Web services renders greater flexibility and capabilities.
