Hi Kasyan,
This BIG difference lies in the fact that Silverlight 1.1 provides a subset of the.NET Framework that runs across platforms. This means you can create Silverlight applications and manipulate them via .NET code.
If you wish to manipulate your Silverlight applications in Silverlight 1.0, you are limited to using JavaScript.

Thank you,

Do you meen that .Net Framework required in client machine to view web-site with Silverlight 1.1?

No...
The .NET Framework is not required on the target machines. When Silverlight 1.1 is installed on the client machines, it automatically installs a subset of the .NET framework that is targeted at browser applications. This version of the .NET Framework is small and is designed to be installed incredibly quickly (approx. within 20 seconds) on the target machines. What is really cool is that this version of the .NET framework will also run on the Apple Macintosh OS X platform.

Version 1.0 release candidate is being release soon (within a week or so). 1.1 is still in alpha and there is no info out there on its release schedule.

Let me answer ur question in simple terms. I guess ur new to this...
Difference b/w version 1.0 and 1.1
1.1 has got a lot of cool features than in 1.0. But it still supports all the features of 1.0. In 1.0, you can use only javascript to control the silverlight application. But in 1.1, you can use .Net languages like C# and Vb.Net (javascript is still supported).
What is required at the client end to view web site with both the versions
If the client has Version 1.1, then its enough. He can view both 1.0 and 1.1 application...
Which version is shipped
When the user tries to view 1.0, it asks to download 1.0. (As 1.1 is still in Alpha - Not mature enough)
when he tries to view 1.1, then it asks to download 1.1
If the client has got 1.0, he cannot view 1.1 applications but if he has 1.1, then he can see both 1.0 and 1.1 applications.
I hope this answers your question.....
