I agree with Leroy. I like to assume that someone somewhere has been working on making the text look crisp. It's a detail that many may not even notice but it could make the difference amongst the highest quality applications.

Thanks for all the useful links on this post. There is no doubt that Silverlight based gaming will explode, but I guess the scale will depend on marketing efforts from Microsoft. Am I right? I am very curious about the marketing strategy. How will the general public know what Silverlight is?

Well played Mr. Jenkins. I can't talk to Silverlight 3 yet, but here is a screenshot of text from two of the games mentioned above: http://adamkinney.com/image...

If you check out the Manic Miner game and click the screen, the text comes flying at you and gives you a good idea of what the text looks like close up.

Has the Text Readability improved in Silverlight?

If no, then Game Over.
