Microsoft delivers Silverlight 1.0, extends support to Linux
Microsoft in this case is, indeed, doing better then Adobe.
Adobe's client is closed source. They are not helping with open source alternatives.
Meanwhile Microsoft is helping out with open source alternatives.. ie acknowledging and assisting them in whatever way.
Both things are dependant on closed source and otherwise patented codecs for media...
So unless Adobe plans to help out with Gnash anytime soon I'd have to say that Microsoft Silverlight is better then Adobe Flash already.
Not that I expect Silverlight to go anywere.
