Microsoft Silverlight is an application framework for writing and running rich Internet applications, with features and purposes similar to those of Adobe Flash. The run-time environment for Silverlight is available as a plug-in for web browsers running under Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X. While early versions of Silverlight focused on streaming media, current versions support multimedia, graphics and animation, and give developers support for CLI languages and development tools. Silverlight is also one of the two application development platforms for Windows Phone.
Over the course of about five years Microsoft has released five versions: The first version was released in 2007; the latest version was released on December 9, 2011. It is compatible with multiple web browsers used on Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X operating systems, and with mobile devices using the Windows Phone and Symbian (Series 60) platforms.
A free software implementation named Moonlight, developed by Novell in cooperation with Microsoft, is available to bring Silverlight versions 1 and 2 functionality to Linux, FreeBSD and other open source platforms, although some Linux distributions do not include it, citing redistribution and patent concerns.
I've been away so long
I've been the wayward son
always moving on
I've been wrong
I've seen the lows and highs
the color of a life and times
after all I have seen
I'm so blind
it's only rain but it's so sweet
sounds like music on the city street
and at times like this
oh, I feel so incomplete
here is the only place I know
against the walls, stand or fall
every word like a shadow
comes the waves rolling slow
let me see the light, silver light
open sky is all I need tonight
I come alive when it shines
so let me breath the air and let my spirit rise
I hear silence and it's lovely
voices tell a haunting story
I don't believe everything I hear
it speaks to me, let it be
don't let the sights or sounds
people, places drag you down
just let the past go, face the future
with eyes open wide
I've been away so long
I've been the wayward son
I'm always moving on
I've been wrong
yeah, I've seen the lows and highs
the color of a life and times
but after all I have seen
I'm so blind
it's a wide world, such a wide world
you can hide in the shadows for too long
praying for light
