What is Microsofts Silverlight for? How is it beneficial?

It is another scripting language. Check out the wikipedia article, because there's a lot to say, so it's easier to just point you there:

Hope that helps.

It's also used in programs like Visual Studio, but it isn't necessary for it to work, it's an extra.

Developing tool that can be used in any .NET programming language. Also similar functionality as Adobe flash. Multimedia whatnot.
