See there ya go ;) once you get past all this my muscles are bigger than yours stuff and you get to the heart of it, it doesn't hurt to know how SilverLight ticks though does it :)

*snarf* I'm trying to stop laughing! Realistically, Silverlight may pick up some heavy video developers, but Adobe is way far out there. I love Microsoft tools for coding, but doesn't this look like an opportunity to dis-include Linux and Solaris more than a real product? I'll pay much more serious attention if they do a good job with .NET integration. Flex + Coldfusion + SQL Server < Silverlight + SQL Server with no middleware application server. As long as Adobe keeps the Flash runtime under 1 MB, with decent performance, and no plug-in CODEC searches (like QuickTime or WMP), I think Flash wins. Perhaps if Microsoft makes the tools free, that would shift the scales in their direction, or announcing something Apollo-like or integrating PDF viewing/generation/web browsing like Apollo. I intend to be fluent in Silverlight technologies as well as Flash/Flex/Apollo, in hopes that they do something really innovative, but I just can't imagine the masses dropping Flash for a very green product. Let's see what the next few months hold...
