One of the noticeable differences between Silverlight and Flash is the way they handle local file access. In Flash we have to upload a file to the server before we can gain access to the file's contents. In Silverlight you get access to the file as soon as it is selected by the user. My question is if anyone knows if the way Flash does it is because of security concerns (meaning Silverlight might have to change), or not (meaning Flash 'could' change)? I have to say that I really like the way Silverlight handles it as there is no round-trip delay before a user can start using the file in your RIA.
