Despite all the controversy over Microsoft using Silverlight to take over the rich internet market from Adobe Flash, the software giant seems to be not even trying. In fact, even most Microsoft web sites are using Flash instead of Silverlight.
A quick check through Microsoft properties reveals that only the Microsoft Home Page and the Microsoft Developer Network use Silverlight; MSN Video, Zune.net and the new WWTelescope all use Flash.
Considering the fact that Silverlight is still under development undergoing thousands and thousands of build cycles, perhaps it should take for Silverlight a little more than the expected time to reach large scale audience.

Same goes with Google Gears, JavaFX, Mozilla Prism etc. Flash seems to be the most widely acceptable format at least for next few years for RIA development.
