Silverlight Catching Up to Flash...in Features

SAI has an article about Microsoft Silverlight and how it's catching up to Adobe Flash in regards to the feature set. Adoption is another thing altogether, though MS is definitely trying. Silverlight worked fantastically for me during the Summer Olympics last year and I look forward to seeing how it's improved when the Winter Olympics roll around.

Microsoft has been able to get companies like NBC to use Silverlight for one-time projects like the Olympics by funding them. (Likewise, Microsoft has a special relationship with Netflix; the DVD rental service's founder and CEO Reed Hastings sits on Microsoft's board.)
