The Silverlight Web Services Team has published a nice article which describes the new features introduced in SL2B2:

• Duplex communication (great improvement, I’ve just tested it and It works well);
• LINQ over JSON;
• Configuration support using the ServiceReference.clientConfig file;
• The new “Silverlight-enabled Wcf Service” Visual Studio Item template;
• SOAP improvements.

 For detailed instructions about these topics, please refer to the original documentation.
