Silverlight 1.0 has been released tonight, and it will natively support Windows and Mac, and will officially support Linux via a partnership with Novell and Moonlight, which is part of the Mono Project.

Together with Silverlight 1.0 RTM, also the RTM of Expression Encoder has been released.

A lot of MS blogger already blogged about this announcement, here are a few posts where you can get more info:

You can check out the great Silverlight example that is Halo 3 Combat trailer in HD (720p).

And while I'm on this topic, I just found a great 20 parts tutorial by LiquidBoy: it's about the development of an iTunes clone build in Silverlight 1.1, complete with CoverFlow and themes.

looks like the itunes clone has become the best candidate to be the challenge playground in the rich internet application technologies' arena. I've seen implementations on Flash/Flex/Air and Java/JavaFX/JavaWebStart, also AJAX only... but then again the original iTunes IS a RIA application after all...
