Silverlight faces difficulties in capturing the market because of the maturity of Flash. However, Silverlight has managed to keep up by including certain features that designers and developers have always wanted to see in Flash, such as search engine optimization. In this article, we will discuss some of the technical differences between Flash and Silverlight to help you choose the technology that best suits your needs.

I’m Microsoft’s fun, and a asp.net developer, so silverlight will be my first choice.
Cool, I understand your choice ;) I can’t tell that I don’t like Microsoft but for few months now I’m a Mac user and it’s much more fun, I’m also an Adobe’s boy :D I don’t say Silverlight is bad, but I’m with Flash for a few years now, and I don’t see many advantages of Silverlight over Flash.
