I would have to believe that WPF will win over Apollo for backoffice/intranet software for the following reasons:
1) Ability to leverage .NET developer pool 2) Performance (I'm guessing WPF will be faster due to the CLR) 3) Vastly (sorry, Adobe) superior IDE/developer tools (at least at this point - I'm hoping FB3 really steps it up) 4) Cross-platform is not important if you know all of your users will be running Windows As far as public internet sites go, I can't fathom why anyone would go for Silverlight over Flash/Flex. It's unproven, has 0 market share, is not truly cross-platform, and on and on...
