It is a bit early but still I guess it will help marging all the dream features in one place. Also Silverlight team might find it useful
what community wants.
Here are mine
1. Creation of Image from an Silverlight object dynamically.
2. Integration of Photosynth with Silverlight. (It uses some collections like DeepZoom. So it might be possible to show Photosynth inside Silverlight)
3. Native 3D support. (Also a complete
Kit3D will help)
4. Clipboard support. (I agree it is a bit risky but you can do it from JavaScript (in IE) or from Flash anyway so why not directly)
Please add yours so we get everything in one place
Please Mark as Answer if this helps you.
Thanks n Regards

1. Text render can be more clearly. (It's a major problem to block me to use silverlight2)
2. silverlight can work offline and interactive with other desktop application
3. silverlight can work under Android. (not just like a brower plug-in, but rumtime or framework...)
1. WPF is too big and that works for window only. (It doesn't work under window 2000 client, neither)
2. WPF also has the same issue as silverlight in "Text Display" (blurry).....In PDC2008, Microsoft says it will be improved in future version...
I have seem a keynote that silverlight is going to run out of brower.....
I am waiting for more information about it...
(4) SIMD... apparently the Moonlight guys were saying MS may support this? Note that Flash 10 has support for this in their "Pixel Bender" technology which can be used not only in image processing but also other applications (such as audio processing).
Visit http://www.tagxedo.com, a Silverlight-based word cloud generator. If you like it, please help me spread the word!
2. Make it possible to download these exportfiles by some sort of SaveFileDialog..
3. Hardware accelerated 2D drawing.. (look at the demopage from the Silverlight 2 control toolkit.. wrappanel is very slow indeed)
* I really think MS should better put their efforts on 2d first, rather than going too soon to 3d.. 3d without acceleration would have litte use, especially when more things are done with it, rather than a silly rotating cube..
5. Fix important-bugs like 'Layout-cycle detected' & 'Value does not fall in the expected range' & full browser crashes on silverlight crashes
6. Better mouse support: Right mouse button support! (and not the hacky way), Scrollwheel support (and not the hacky way), and a static method to always retrieve the mouse position...

This might be a security concern. You already have WPF for these type of applications.

(1) SaveFileDialog
(2) Direct bitmap manipulation
(3) printing support
(4) SIMD... apparently the Moonlight guys were saying MS may support this? Note that Flash 10 has support for this in their "Pixel Bender" technology which can be used not only in image processing but also other applications (such as audio processing).

1. Allow creation of export formats from Canvas/XAML to for example PNG, XPS..
Currently this must be done using a webservice which will transform xaml using WPF, but
(a) this is not supported by MS because WPF is a client-technology and not tested to run on a server..
(b) .Net Framework 3.5 SP1 has a bug which will throw an exception if you were to try this (https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx?FeedbackID=361469)
2. Make it possible to download these exportfiles by some sort of SaveFileDialog..
3. Hardware accelerated 2D drawing.. (look at the demopage from the Silverlight 2 control toolkit.. wrappanel is very slow indeed)
* I really think MS should better put their efforts on 2d first, rather than going too soon to 3d.. 3d without acceleration would have litte use, especially when more things are done with it, rather than a silly rotating cube..
4. Text-rendering quality and performance.. Jaggy rendering must be fixed (maybe in a SP1 release?) and text-animations are really slow compared to Flash (http://www.shinedraw.com/text-effect/flash-vs-silverlight-spiral-text/)
5. Fix important-bugs like 'Layout-cycle detected' & 'Value does not fall in the expected range' & full browser crashes on silverlight crashes
6. Better mouse support: Right mouse button support! (and not the hacky way), Scrollwheel support (and not the hacky way), and a static method to always retrieve the mouse position...
7.. Well, Parallel-Linq? :P
