I'm so sad, I remember Flash 3... I think i was toying with Flash path or
VRML... glad I went Flash..

I'm amazed no-one mentioned scripting on this list yet. Silverlight relies on
the browser's JS engine for scripting. Basically, the XAML subset implement
Silverlight handles Layout, and animation, while the browser's javascript
engine actually provides for the scripting. IMHO, that's what we did with Flash
3. Although admittedly Flash 3 didn't event back.

Claus,
Yup, so that's why FLEX does have its unique offering vs SilverLight and once
developers & designers unsubscribe from the notion it's a "Flash Killer" and do
more of what you are doing (exploring it's upcoming release) you'll decide on
what you think it's merits are vs aren't. It's early days yet, so wouldn't
worry to much about it folks ;) just keep an open mind should you want to take
it for a test-run post MIX07 :)
WPF & SilverLight are going to have interesting prospects just like Apollo and
FLEX will have it's own, I think the two will do different things for different
people. Keep fingers in all barrels I'd say :)

Reading through the Silverlight docs, XAML looks to me like some weird
kind of microsoftified SVG, spiced up with MP3 and WM codecs. I'm still
searching but so far i couldn't find anything close to what Flex offers
(what i found are some barely working and butt ugly component
experiments) . I'd guess that Silverlight will get some video market
share, but it has a long way to go to enter the RIA market. My 2 centavos.
Cheers,
Claus.
