Documentation Overlaps Abound in Silverlight 3 and 4

“There is quite a bit of overlap between developing for Silverlight 3 and Silverlight 4 and so in order to not duplicate content in different locations on the web, both versions are covered in the same set of MSDN documentation,” revealed a member of the Silverlight team.

Well don’t expect this to be resolved anytime soon. Perhaps next time the Softies will get the documentation squared away first.
