Showing off your photos is a lot harder than it should be. Microsoft challenged Vertigo Software to tackle this problem during their latest exploration of Microsoft's Silverlight technology. By design, Silverlight enabled them to build very rich interactive applications that improve people's experience working with media such as digital photos.

They are proud to announce the release of Slide.Show, a Silverlight 1.0 application open to the public — the source, available on CodePlex. Slide.Show, shows off some of the latest Silverlight technologies while also providing an elegant and simple photo sharing user experience.
