Just reading the new features list for Silverlight 4. Looks like things are going jump to the next level. ICommand, Webcam support, Richtext control.. Oh My!...

Direct Access to local file on a client machine.. hmm. As a developer I like the idea of not having to rely solely on cookies, as a user I'll have to see how limited the access is.

Notification (aka “toast”) API >> no more writing a status view.

Right-click event handling >> Okay, now I believe in Santa again.

With all this coming in SL4 who is going to write anything in Winforms anymore?.

I've seen guesses for spring, it would be nice, but with SL3 hardly out of the box I would be amazed if it gets here that soon. Also after the nightmare I had moving from SL3 beta to SL3 release, I think I'm going to setup a laptop just to test the beta, and I get a client that wants to start work in SL4 pre-release I'm going to run for the hills.

Happy Coding.
