If you’re one of the small pack of people that found their way into the Skyfire browser beta, pop open your copy – they’ve just added support for Microsoft’s response to Flash, Silverlight.

Only a handful of sites are making use of Silverlight at the moment, but more support should be on the way. Netflix has demoed Silverlight versions of their “Watch Now” streaming feature in the past – if they ever get around to actually implementing that, you’ll be able to watch National Lampoon’s European Vacation wherever, whenever. In the mean time, you’re now free to roam around without missing a second of the Michael Phelps Show Olympics.
