Microsoft "As expected, Silverlight 3 was announced today at MIX09, this year's iteration of Microsoft's annual conference for web developers, designers, and enthusiasts. While the keynote that just finished was full of little announcements that were handed out faster than the audience could swallow them, the one that stood out the most was the third iteration of Microsoft's Flash alternative, Silverlight. Links for the first and last beta of Silverlight 3, and the many development tools surrounding it, went live earlier today."

It is not reliable...

... an immature technology with a major release every year.

1.0 2007-09-05 (Beta 2006-12)
2.0 2008-10-14 (Beta 2008-03)
3.0 2009-10? (Beta 2009-03)

Sincerely, I would not start any project with such technology, too much uncertainty for me.

Even though Silverlight 1.0 was released 2007-09-05, it still was a technical preview, or a beta at best.
