    It is quite cool, but I do not think it can challenge Adobe flash at least not for the foreseeable future. Flash is far too entrenched in the Internet to be easily challenged and replaced.

    Saying that, Microsoft do produce miracles, who would have expected IE to trump over Netscape in the early days.

    They would seem to have an edge in implementing new software since their OS runs on most pcs around the world.

    MS is dominant in PCs, but they still have problems penetrating to the Internet. Servers are still predominantly Apache Linux. MS did a lot of other cool stuff but a lot just disappear, I hope Silverlight won't disappear though. One which I am glad disappear is Front Page :)
