Okay, be nice, it's on-topic... the thread had lead to a question of whether it was possible to develop in Silverlight for free (in the same way its possible to develop in Flex for free). Scott was able to provide an authoritative answer on that, which is good, because it was suggested that it was not an option and that one would have to purchase Expression. I think the "marketing effort" in Scott's e-mail was little to non-existent. Troy.
