    Public Betas Availalbe Now: Silverlight 4, Office 2010, SharePoint 2010, and More

    Microsoft has released a number of public betas. This includes Silverlight 4, which can now be downloaded from:

    http://silverlight.net/getstarted/silverlight-4-beta/

    Silverlight 4 is targeted for release next year. The first three versions of Silverlight were released within 22 months. Micorosft is on the same clip with Silverligth 4.

    Also released are public betas of products such as Microsoft Office 2010, Project 2010, Visio, 2010, and SharePoint 2010. You can find more on these at:

    I predict a decrease in developer productivity today....

    I was at PDC when SL4 Beta was "released" ... the three biggest things: 1) Rich Text... 2) the HTML control (allows for embedding) and (drum roll) 3) Printer support. I swear, you'd think the Rolling Stones had taken the stage... that was the single biggest feature that had been keeping a lot of people from it.

    Oh, and with SL4, you can now make SL apps that can be run "out of browser"

    That was in SL3! But printer support and RT are amazing, it may not seem big but it shows that MS are following the requested feature list!

    And now VS 2010 can target different versions of SL as well, which is pretty cool!!
