Seems like there has been an insurgence of people upgrading their phones from Windows Phone 7 to Windows Phone 8

But now you’ve got your new shiny phone (in my case a Nokia Lumia 920), configured your Start Screen and Lock Screen to look just right, but now you’re missing your Apps from your old phone.

If you’re like me and sick and tired of the “so-called” upgrades to the Facebook web interface.
Why not try something new?

The good folks at Microsoft has just launched a new Silverlight 4 client application for Facebook.

Typically the installation is a 4 step process

1. When you click on the link, the website checks if you have the Developer Preview Edition of Silverlight 4. If you don’t have the software, then it will ask you to install it. If you already have it, then you can install the client software (Step 3)

4. Then type your email address and password used to log in to Facebook

Then you’re done!

Here’s a few sample screenshots of the Facebook Client in action:

So you may think, what’s the big deal?
