Silverlight 4 Facebook Client Released for Windows and Mac

Microsoft has just released Silverlight 4 based facebook client for both Windows and Mac OS X. Back in April last year, Microsoft showed off a proof of concept facebook client which was made using facebook’s Open Stream API on Silverlight but unfortunately that never saw the light of the day. After a long wait, they have finally released a fully working client for users running Windows and OS X – with full capability to run it out-of-the-browser.

Some of the features of the client are as follows:
  • Out-of-browser support
  • Hosting HTML content interactively
  • Local Device access (webcam)
  • Rich-Text control
  • Embedding alternative media content (i.e., YouTube)
  • Desktop notifications
  • COM integration (with Outlook) on the Windows platform
  • Right-click
  • Drag-n-drop
  • Window control
  • Animations
