MS suffered a big blow last year when Major League Baseball dropped
Silverlight and are using Adobe Flash this year for the MLB streaming of
games. It is a noticeable improvement.
And Netflix switched from WMP to Silverlight last fall for its Watch
Instantly streaming of movies. Many users are complaining bitterly about
the loss of picture quality. And MS screwed up in not turning off
screensaver, thereby interrupting movies in full screen mode.

Actually I expect Silverlight to become even more popular over time.
"Ubiquitous" maybe, but "popular" I think not. Pushing software down
people's throats is no way to win a popularity contest.
