CLR/Silverlight/DLR

• Jason writes about the Origin if the Silverlight CLR and .NET Framework
• He also writes about Side by Side In Process CLRs Start with Silverlight
• And John clears the air about Silverlight and the DLR. Of most interest is to me is, "The DLR will also run on top of the desktop CLR V2.0, not just the Silverlight CLR. We have a generic hosting API that lets us retarget the DLR to run on top of arbitrary hosts. Silverlight is only one such host."
