Silverlight Facebook Client

For all you Facebook fans, here's something sparkling new that will make Facebook look great on your desktop. Microsoft has just launched a beta version of a new Silverlight Clent for Facebook, and it looks really, really cool.

If you want to try it out go to
http://www.silverlight.net/content/samples/apps/facebookclient/ where you will be required to install Silverlight 4 Beta, if you have not done so yet. After installing Silverlight 4 Beta you need to close all instances of your Internet Explorer browser and restart it. Upon restarting Internet Explorer go to the same URL, http://www.silverlight.net/content/samples/apps/facebookclient/, and install the Facebook client. This is all very straightforward, and you will be asked to allow access to the client to the different features in Facebook, also providing your login details.

When all this is done click on the Login link in the top right hand corner and be amazed!

Let me know what you think.
