Microsoft has released V 1.0 of Silverlight.  Microsoft is going strong with Silverlight not because it's just a competitor to flash but it's going to be the premiere way to deliver deep, rich user experiences right along with your data.  It's also cross platform, if you check out the news flash you'll notice the words "Linux" in there.
