A day earlier than expected, Microsoft has released version 3 of its Flash alternative Silverlight, including a number of related tools to aid in Silverlight development. It comes with a whole lot of new features.

Flash "grip" will be over as soon as <video> tag goes mainstream. The only flash thing people care about is youtube.
The future of web programming is Javascript (like it or not). Users want stuff that "just works", no matter how much web developers would want to develop differently. Web site developed with flash/silverlight is just much less valuable to user than html/javascript ones, even if the development with html/javascript may cost a bit more in developer time.
To repeat, silverlight can be safely ignored. It's just not very compelling a technology anymore; html/js is just not as stagnant as we thought it would be (see the "canvas" widget, for example, used in https://bespin.mozilla.com/ ).
