Since you visit Facebook on a daily basis, you may or may not be sick of minimal design changes that come with every UI refresh. Microsoft has updated their Silverlight beta client that pulls in all your Facebook data into a much more visually appealing way with all the functionality you’d expect. Mark Dalton over at the TechnoBuffalo blog Apple Mac has the full details on what looks to be one slick Facebook client for either Windows or Mac.

“Just very recently I published an article about the revamped facebook design and as I am starting to see it is a Marmite issue, some love it and some hate it. However, what about facebook desktop clients? Now so far I have not given these a second look, up to now I preferred to just use the main site instead but that could be all about to change! Enter Silverlight for both Windows and Mac, it is developed by Microsoft and I have to say they have done a pretty good job.”
