You are absolutely right it is not all about the money. What I was trying to say is that you will see a large portion of the flash community gravitate to Silverlight because of it. Microsoft has created products that require basically no training on the Flash developer to port his skills to their platform. I agree that Flash allows the ability to communicate one's ideas, but wouldn't your ideas be greater if you are exposed to both the creative from Adobe and the technical from Microsoft. You would be exposed to whole new community who approaches development from a totally different perspective? I have a question, have you downloaded Blend? If not you really should, you will be able to do everything in Blend that you can do in Flash and just as fast. If you have any questions in getting started, just let me know.

I agree that Flash allows the ability to communicate one’s ideas, but wouldn’t your ideas be greater if you are exposed to both the creative from Adobe and the technical from Microsoft. You would be exposed to whole new community who approaches development from a totally different perspective?

I have a question, have you downloaded Blend? If not you really should, you will be able to do everything in Blend that you can do in Flash and just as fast.

If you have any questions in getting started, just let me know.

Flash is not just a software product, it has become a way of living. We used it to have fun, to create new ways to interact with people to communicate your ideas with the world. I don´t think that Silverlight can replace that. As you said, the main target for Silverlight development will be mostly big companies with large projects. What happens with all this marketing campaigns, with all this Interactive Advertising that change and evolve every day? What happens with all this projects and ideas that need to come to life so fast? Flash is and will be the answer. Maybe it sounds silly, but is not just about money.
