wow, this thread got big! Thanks for the response Tom. I appreciate everyone else's response but I think we may have veered a little off topic.
First my company and Microsoft are BFFs. I can't use the argument that Microsoft will screw us in the long run. 2nd, I think there's only one person that uses a mac on the development/design side and they already want to stick with the adobe product line. It's the other 99% of developers that are Visual Studio based that I have to convince. For sharepoint integration, is my only choice webservices? Can I interact with webparts? I know of the Ajax Bridge in labs, but my company is very big on no beta code in production. The head programmer here said that if silverlight significantly integrates better with sharepoint then his vote will be for silverlight. I know there are a bazillion better reasons to go with something but I'm just looking for SOME way to have my flex apps run in sharepoint. If I could make a demo of a flex chart interacting with a .NET datagrid I think my company would be sold on it.
