Try Silverlight

If you've been to any Microsoft web site lately you might have noticed it asking you to install Silverlight. Taken from the Microsoft Silverlight page this is how they describe the browser plug-in.
Microsoft Silverlight is a cross-browser, cross-platform, and cross-device plug-in for delivering the next generation of .NET based media experiences and rich interactive applications for the Web.
Basically, it is meant to be similar to Adobe Flash. The big difference is that Microsoft .Net programmers can use it to program for web sites. If you'd like to see it in action check out the Hard Rock Cafe Memorabilia page. I used Firefox to view the Silverlight sites that I have visited. It's worked flawlessly so far. Check it out for yourself, let me know what you think.
