If you want to read a great analysis, read Grant Skinner’s (and while at there check out the next post, free gAlign Panel). Update: Chafic Kazoun also has a great post (Via Keith Peters’ Bit-101) .

Silverlight will certainly fail its role as the Flash killer. (Why? Because it’s from Microsoft). What I’m worried about is not Silverlight killing Flash, I’m worried about what will happen when MS guys get this. Without any other choice, desperately, MS will want to buy Adobe. Can they? I don’t know, both Adobe and Microsoft are giant companies as far as I’m concerned, but MS is known to have lots of money.

Now, I wouldn’t want that happen.

Silverlight gotta have enough success that MS won’t kill it early. Silverlight must live!
