Firstly, we're announcing today that we're renaming Silverlight 1.1 to Silverlight 2.0. As we've been building out the feature set for Silverlight v.Next, it's been becoming increasingly clear that this is a big release. Adding together the Common Language Runtime, Base Class Libraries, Dynamic Language Runtime, the UI Frameworks, DRM, and a bunch of other features I'm not going into at this stage, it's apparent that if this doesn't count as a major version release, the bar will be set so impossibly high that we'll never be able to name a Silverlight release as anything other than version 1.x! At the end of the day, this is just branding - it's not really "news" in its own right, but of course you'll see us start to refer to the v.Next release as Silverlight 2.0.

I had visited MSDN for something earlier today, and I got a browser alert that an updated version of the Silverlight plugin was available. When I clicked to download it, however, it took me to some kind of an error page (Firefox 2.0.10.0 on Mac) and I moved on. I guess I will have to take a closer look.

And that is why you voted the link down?

Yes. People and companies need to stop with this version non-sense.

So, you want to have only one version?? :)
there are some people who are doing that way... For example, one org released one font called "myanmar1" (version 1.0).. when they released the new version, they don't increase the version. Instead, they change the name "Myanmar2" (version 1.0). then, "Myanmar3" font is available now. :O it's weird.
