OK. Fair point. But it is suffering from a nasty cold - and it is indeed on the way out.

Not too surprising that mister softee is no fan of Flash. With it out of the way, Silverlight has a chance to make some traction. They timed it wrong though, they should have brought silverlight out about 5 or 6 years ago. Who's going to invest in it now (in terms of training and hiring specialists) when HTML 5 will be supported by all the major browsers before the end of the year.
