When you visit the new site for Microsoft about Windows Vista, you will see it made of Flash not Silverlight, the big question mark that show up on your head is why they did not use Sliverlight?

Simply, because it can not compete with Flash even inside Microsoft offices. And what makes them use Flash instead of Sliverlight is:

Flash is installed on %93 of the world PC
Flash works on MAC and Linux
Flash gets a better performance and extended capabilities
Flash is a trusted product and bug free
Flash integrates with the products in the most integrated, creative and professional suites (Adobe CS 3 suites)

Now lets have a look at Microsfot Flash site and judge, actually, I have seen better animation performance made by Flash ready components out there. Visit th site here and leave your comment.
