Silverlight for Windows Embedded is a native (C++) UI framework that enables a new designer/developer paradigm that will dramatically improve the user interface on devices and the time and cost needed to deliver a differentiated experience.
Silverlight for Windows Embedded offers:
- OEMs and partners the ability to create rich device UIs that will differentiate their products
- Optimized performance on embedded devices, delivering impressive graphics with a high frame rate
- Faster time to market, by breaking out design work from developer process, and utilizing Expressions Blend 2.0 tools
- Better experience for both designers and developers
Silverlight for Windows Embedded is available for Windows Embedded Compact 7 and CE6R3
