The Silverlight plug-in

*The Silverlight plug-in is a very lightweight component that is necessary for users to access
Silverlight applications. The plug-in download and install take only a few moments and do not
take up much hard drive space.

*When a Web page containing a Silverlight application is displayed, the user should
be given a link to download the plug-in from Microsoft if the plug-in is not already
installed.

*The Silverlight plug-in is responsible for accessing the Silverlight object in the Web page, downloading
and accessing the XAP package, setting up the program environment, and beginning execution
of the application.
