A lot of reasons go into why we have Flash at present, mostly they centre around the word "legacy". Today Microsoft still uses Flash simply because we helped give birth Flash as well seeded it's actual growth via previous couplings of Flash in all Windows XP installs (that's a hefty machine to migrate across). Tomorrow, Silverlight will be our future, will it happen over night? Nope, but its where we are heading and if you want to keep score, that's fine, personally you'll be worth more to your customers on what type of solutions are being built and how they can suite their needs further instead of "Microsoft is using Flash, Adobe is using Windows Vista, Microsoft is using PDF, Adobe is installing Flash Lite on Windows Mobile?" scoring.
