I've been a .Net dev for many years and I'm generally optimistic and excited about many Microsoft products but I warned everyone to stay away from Silverlight from day one. I knew that couldn't be the future of the web. I think I can safely thank those years of being Flash developer for that. One day Microsoft will realize they can't 'own' all the technology between the server and your monitor. I do think they're doing a great job embracing open source and web standards these days.
