I didn't go to MIX, but I did read a few blog posts of people who did.  Definately need to dive deeper this weekend.  Here is my quick overview of what was announced/released...

DLR
  • Dynamic Language Runtime
  • Lets your .net code iteract with dynamic languages like Ruby, Python, Javascript
  • Lets those languages interact with your .net code!  Neat!

CLR on a Mac
  • A browser plug-in that will run .net 3.x apps
  • OSX Only
  • Intel based Macs only?
  • Safari, Firefox, IE
  • Subset of the BCL
  • Rewritten CLR
   
Silverlight
  • Lots of classes to make working with media easier.
  • 720p

Some links for further review...

Wanna try it?
Get the plug-in. - Quick install.  No need to restart computer, but you will have to restart the browser.  Definately works in FireFox.
