Facebook for Silverlight Puts a Dark, Stylish Facebook on Your Desktop

Microsoft has finally released the fancy Facebook client for download, and it has almost everything you could want from Facebook.

Above all, this app is beautiful.Not only does it have cool photo grids integrated into your news feed, but there are some really cool sweeping animations when viewing photos in an album. It even features a photo uploading tool to replace Facebook's mediocre uploader.Viewing photos is certainly where Silverlight's strengths come into play the most, but the app has pretty much every other part of Facebook integrated—you can view your news feed, friend list feeds, profiles, and even your inbox. You can view a list of upcoming events.

   Drawbacks:

• The app doesn't currently support chat.
• The app has a few minor bugs, which is to be expected due to the fact that it's still a developer preview.
• And sometimes new posts just don't load.
• It seems you can't use your scroll wheel in the application—you actually have to click the arrows or the scroll bar to scroll up and down.
