Also, Microsoft is renaming Silverlight 1.1 (drum roll please) Silverlight 2.0 as noted in Scott Guthrie's blog.

Soma Somasegar also weighed in with the unsurprising rationale: "The Silverlight 1.1 versioning simply didn't do the enhancements justice so we decided to rename the next version to "Silverlight 2.0."

A new beta is due first quarter of next year.
