Other changes include typographic improvements, PostScript vector printing, reduced network latency, support for 64-bit operating systems, and provision for trusted Silverlight applications for tighter integration with desktop applications.
Furthermore, Silverlight 5 includes features intended to improve developer productivity, Microsoft officials claimed.
