I generally browse with Flash switched off, or, with Firefox, FlashBlock enabled and only allow a couple of sites to actually run their content...

When you consider how quickly Microsoft has got to SIlverlight 3(SIlverlight 1 was practically concept) they are catching up very quickly and are ahead in some areas. I've had a little play around with Silverlight 2 but the extended LOB integration in 3 means that I will be pitching it to my boss as a possible new platform for our software. ps. Win 7 RC absolutely flies. Yeah I have to agree.

However, Silverlight already is starting to include integration and processes into things that Adobe can't match: SketchFlow Prototyping, .NET RIA Services, integration with their products (Office Web, SharePoint, Virtual Earth Map SDK) etc In the near future when you see Windows Mobile 7 come out with Silverlight on there and Adobe is the one out there hoping that Apple/Microsoft allow them on their platforms. Its much more than Flash having Printer/Mic support and Silverlight having multithreading support. The future looks a lot brighter with Silverlight as Microsoft is JUST about to start throwing it into everything. If you are looking at it from a feature perspective then yes Flash is ahead.
