Silverlight Cream for June 08, 2009 -- #609

In this Issue: Mark Monster, Patrick Cauldwell(2), Kirupa Chinnathambi, and Nigel Sampson.

Shoutouts:

Tim Heuer has some great advice up for anyone trying to get ready for the SL2/SL3 switch: Check your Silverlight 2 apps for compatibility with Silverlight 3. I know we all have seen pages that want us to install SL 1 or 1.1 still, so follow Tim's instructions to not be one of those!

Despite 3 years of French in High School, I do NOT speak or read French (it's been too long ago!), but I can look at applications and this one from a Microsoft group in France is downright amazing: Centre des Usages. I think that's the title... I love this!
