在silverlight.net上看到的关于silverlight的下一个版本的信息，原文如下：
Next year we will ship our next major Silverlight release -- Silverlight 3.
Silverlight 3 will include major media enhancements (including H.264 video support), major graphics improvements (including 3D support and GPU hardware acceleration), as well as major application development improvements (including richer data-binding support and additional controls). Note these are just a small sampling of the improvements - we have plenty of additional cool features we are going to keep up our sleeves a little longer. ;-)
Next year Visual Studio and Visual Web Developer Express will also support a fully editable and interactive designer for Silverlight, and add tool support for data-binding

根据这段文字的描述，silverlight3将在媒体，图形和开发上有很大的改进，另外大家一致期望的在visual studio等工具中设计silverlight果然要在下一个版本才会实现了。
另外，h.264个人很看好，现在好多媒体设备都支持这个格式，至于3d是怎么支持的，是否需要硬件加速，这个还不清楚，更丰富的数据绑定和更多的控件，确实很令人期待。
让我们共同期待silverlight3给我们的惊喜。
