He seems to make a lot of sense. It'll be interesting to see the JavaScript compiler coming with some future version of Silverlight. It should mean that I can generate JavaScript from C# using Script#, and send a compiled version to those web clients with support.

Let's face it, a few mini-killer apps written using Silverlight will soon get the numbers using the plug-in way up to near Flash levels. I wonder what politics would stop Microsoft pushing Silverlight down via Windows Update? Then again, the tiny download and easy install should not stop standard web-based deployment as well.
