I came accross this article that gave 10 reasons why Flash is better than Silverlight. I agree with some of the comments there that the article is biased and Microsft has got several good things built into Silverlight. However I think it is too early for someone to drop Flash and consider developing Silverlight  applications- especially when Silverlight is installed only on fraction of the computers than Flash. I don’t know how many Silverlight developers are out there, but I doubt if it is anywhere near number of Flash developers. Nevertheless, it is being promoted by Microsoft and should be followed closely.

Some of you may have seen this before, but Smashing Magazine published an article that compared Silverlight and Flash a while ago. Not that Silverlight is a big player yet, but nevertheless it is still interesting to look at what Microsoft is offering. Read the article here.

Much is being discussed about the Silverlight and how it compares to Flash. Now HTML5 standard is being backed by Google and Apple. The race is on for platform of choice. I came across this article that compares and contrasts three. The author predicts that HTML5 will be the winner….. I am not ready to predict winner just yet, but agree that the playing field is getting crowded. Add JavaFX and Sproutcore to the mix, and now you have five players where Flash was the only player until recently.
