I wonder, how can it be? My understanding (I admit, very limited) that Silverlight carries .NET framework so that the application can run in a browser without having .NET installed. And I can't say that .NET is light. In fact the friend who inspired me to start this thread said that to develop WPF application, you need a very powerful box (minimum of 2Gb of RAM on Vista, in his words).

>>Can you share why (the reasons) your client is looking at Silverlight? Is this a database application or much more? I would be curious to know the minimum memory and OS requirements necessary to run an average size (about 30-40 windows) database application developed in WPF and/or Silverlight?
