SilverLight 3 has RTW’ed (aka. It’s done, released, baked, RTM, gold, what are you waiting for go get it, etc, etc)

All About Microsoft(Mary-Jo Foley) - Microsoft Silverlight 3 available for download

“Microsoft officials wouldn’t say a month ago whether the actual Silverlight 3 bits would be available by the day of the official launch, which is July 10. But it turns out they are available a day earlier.

Those interested in the latest version of Microsoft’s Flash competitor can download it from Microsoft’s Web site. Here’s where to get the Silverlight 3 bits.

(Gotta love the note on the download site: “Don’t Worry! We won’t install a bunch of additional stuff on your computer or try to sign you up for unwanted email.” Wonder who they’re talking about?)

Man, that was a fast release cycle… Congrats to the SilverLight team! (Now what are we getting in SL4? lol ;)

Update #1 7/9/2009 @ 11:50AM PDT:
Please note that the "official" date is still tomorrow, July 10th. The RTW is in the process of being rolled out. So you may, or mat not, see it, depending on your location, etc, etc.

And there's been enough changes to the namespaces, assemblies, etc. to make it worth your while to wait until it's all out. My big SL3 (beta) project won't compile under the new bits, and I can't yet figger out where they put all the stuff I need :-).

Mine SL3 (beta) app won't compile under the new bits either. I'm getting a circular dependency involving target "GetXapOutputFIle".
