If you want to develop in .NET, then fine. Don't make Web sites, which are intended for a broad audience, dependent on .NET because not everyone can use .NET. Microsoft, by the way, has a long history of just using and deceiving its developers and partners for its own benefit. It's all well documented. You are completely missing the point.

Right now .net developers do not have a compelling way to develop media applications. We would need to hire in flash developers to incorporate media into our web applications. Microsoft recognized that .net developers need this feature. That's all it is, a way for us .net developers to have what adobe/flash developers have had all along, the ability to build media applications in an environment that is supportive of our skills. I don't want to learn flash (which itself is a closed technology). I want to build in a language that I'm comfortable in! Silverlight is this environment, it is technically innovative and it really delivers rich experiences beyond what we .net developers can currently build. This is an amazing technology! You bloggers and journalist's always think that you know better then us technology geeks that use it day-in and day-out. If all the other OS's and programming environments were as good as Microsoft's then you would see a mass exodus of developers into those technologies... BUT what you see is a huge microsoft community of developers, because there technology is far superior than any other vendors (both proprietary and open)..
