I had a chance to talk to the great folks over at .NET Rocks about a couple of the big Silverlight announcements we did here at the show.
Check it out and let me know what you think!

Brad, would it be possible to access the user file system using System.IO from the CLR that is part of SilverLight. Obviously from a security stand point there needs to be user permission to allow this just like ActiveX. I am trying to see if we will be able to replace ActiveX controls with Silverlight based .NET code. Thanks, VaibhavAnonymous

Yes Vaibhav... there are two ways to use System.IO from Silverlight... the first is via Isolated storage where you get a private "super cookie" sort of storage to use a client side storage. And if you want to access the users My Documents directory we offer a SafeFileDialog that enables the user to select a file then you get access to the contents of the value.Anonymous

That is correct, today on Windows we support XP and Vista... That is mainly based on the number of internet connected machines... Our data indicates that XP+Vista are a VERY large precetnage of the internet connected PC market... We are happy to revisit if we get more feedback from customers... so keep the feedback comming
