Microsoft is still addressing the web-app stuff. I assume they'll talk more about it at Mix 07. The NAB conference would naturally be more interested in just the media stuff. From what I've read, the full announcment will be at Mix 07, which takes place at the end of this month.

The "EXPERIENCE SILVERLIGHT" section at the bottom of http://www.microsoft.com/silverlight has some web-app demos.

Today, I've seen some pretty good demo vids showing HD video, web interactivity, and cross platform (including Mac, Safari, Firefox) capabilities:
