You will need the Silverlight runtime and Microsoft Expression Blend 2 May Preview. You can download the runtime and a free trial of Expression Blend 2 May Preview from http://silverlight.net/GetStarted/. From this same site you can download other useful tools for creating Silverlight applications including the newest version of Visual Studio codenamed (“Orcas”) as well as other important Expression Suite designer tools (e.g. Expression Design and Expression Media Encoder May Preview.); however, these extra tools are not needed to complete this QuickStart.
