Silverlight hits 5.0, Microsoft silent as to its future

Last we heard, there were whispers that Redmond's favorite runtime / framework / Flash-killer was due for a fresh release "soon."

Headlining the release is hardware decoding of H.264 streams, improved postscript printing and a better graphics stack, replete with support for things in the third dimension.

Hit the source and turn that frown upside down.
