Hi Scott, I don't understand what you are trying to say. Is there something on a Microsoft page that can help me? You seem to say that Silverlight and Flash are very different and I think you are implying that they don't really compete with each other. Or maybe that the feature or technology overlap between them is not as large as some people assume it is? When I look at Silverlight from a high level (assuming the clr is implemented) it does seem to me to overlap a great deal with Flash. I understand the workflow is different and the codecs are different but from a 9000 foot high perspective they seem to overlap a great deal.
At any rate, this is a Flex discussion list, and I really don't want to prolong this thread needlessly. So, if you could could just point me at something written by Microsoft about how Silverlight is very different (at a high level) in what it enables a developer to do, or for an end user, from Flash I would appreciate it.
