Microsoft to announce Silverlight 2.0 on Monday

C|Net | at | by Mike

Microsoft has scheduled a conference call on Monday to announce, among other things, that it has completed version 2.0 of Silverlight, its rival to Adobe's Flash.

The software maker has scheduled a conference call for 9 a.m. PDT with developer division executive Scott Guthrie.

A Microsoft representative declined to comment on the impending announcement, but a source told CNET News that the completion of Silverlight 2.0 is among the topics of discussion. Microsoft released Beta 2 of the software in June, while a "release candidate" version was offered up last month.
