Interactions (using c# behind XAML) are new to 1.1
windows mobile will be supported in the future (here's hoping android too)
Silverlight 1.1 will hopefully ship in summer 2008
1.1 doesn't work with Visual Studio 2008 RTM so use Beta2 until the upcoming Silverlight 1.1 CTP refresh
"Add Silverlight Link" on a web site doesn't copy silverlight.js into your project
you can't edit and continue with a silverlight project you have to recompile
There's no Global styling yet
lots of XAML demos
TransformGroup allows you to do multiple transforms
can't group shapes like WPF so you have to stick your shapes in a canvas instead
no content support like WPF yet
blend 1.0 is for WPF only so use the blend beta instead
Silverlight Pad
there's no 3D acceleration with silverlight so you can work with multiple platforms (why not use an OpenGL wrapper on *nix)
all 3D is run off CPU power
Demos sounds (I was just telling a friend how embedded midi was going to make a come back)

Thanks Chris I didn’t have many notes on this one since there were a lot of XAML demos, too bad I missed the second session.
