Ted :) Chuck, here is my take:

http://www.onflex.org/ted/2008/02/microsoft-vs-adobe-comparable-runtimes.php

Web Browser Plug-ins:

Adobe Flash Player 9.0 (soon 10.0)
vs.
Microsoft SilverLight 1.0 (soon 2.0)

Cross-Platform Desktop Runtimes:

Adobe AIR 1.0
vs.
Microsoft ________ (aka … nada, zip zilch)

They are not really comparable at all.

Ted :)
