Where the name Silverlight come from

Yesterday I was wondering about the origin of the name "Silverlight".

Today I got the answer I was looking for, on the Starbucks .NET Developer blog: Microsoft Silverlight - What an Honor!!!

The article reports the reason of why WPF/E has been named "Silverlight"... worth reading

Ha! I didn't mean your post was BS, I meant that I think this guy's alleged interview with Bill Gates with Bill telling him the produce is named after him is/was a complete fabrication and that any similarity to his last name is purely coincidental. :)
