Silverlight allows advertisers to deliver interactive, interconnected online campaigns across multiple platforms and will utilize similar IAB ad units as seen on web browsers.

Sean Alexander, director at Microsoft’s Advertising Business Group, told MediaPost that the technology will enable companies to build advertising campaigns that span four screens: desktop, television, mobile phone and Surface.
