I'm not sure how much we're going to get into penetration battles by putting 
that data in our survey results directly.  But I know the marketing teams are 
thinking about it :-)

Excuse the mild OT, just curious if anyone knows why Microsoft Silverlight 
stats are not included here in penetration comparisons:

It would seem to me, with Silverlight having fairly low penetration stats I 
would imagine (even after the Olympics) that this would be a huge marketing 
plus for Adobe. Millward Brown, commissioned by Adobe, did the survey just this 
past June, it seems silly the product most closely competing with the Flash 
Player is Silverlight and it's not included in the comparison.

And if someone at Adobe is listening, this is important since this page is 
linked to from some Creative Suite 4 promo pages on the site, for example, the 
page touting Illustrator's Flash player capabilities:

Anyway, just a mild rant for the day. :)  Maybe someone can pass this on to the 
right folks at Adobe.
