I disagree. I'm the CTO at an interactive agency that is building a large enterprise platform for a major Fortune 500 consumer goods company that owns dozens of common household brands. Due to the size of the engagement, and the fact that it will be a showcase of the latest and greatest Microsoft technologies, Microsoft is very involved, and we have direct access to its various product teams. We've already decided that initial releases will use Flash 9 and Flex 3 rather than Silverlight, but I can't get Microsoft to shut up about Silverlight. They are pushing it very hard, and for some meetings, I've actually had to mandate that the topic of Silverlight is off-limits. Make no mistake, Microsoft is pushing Silverlight as hard as they can.
