I heard a story from a friend that had to choose between Flash and Silverlight for an on-demand movie project. (DRM was mandatory, so H.264 was out). Adobe asked for $30.000 for some sort of an Adobe Server. And this included literally no support. They didn't show one sign that they cared for him as a client. Microsoft was incredibly enthusiastic. They enrolled him in the BizSpark program, gave him all the licenses for free for the first years. At the same time he was getting daily calls from Redmond and Microsoft engineers to see how they could to help him. I'm not saying this is the case here, still, his site is now using SilverLight too.
