As a Silverlight evangelist, especially when it comes to video streaming, I was delighted to see that Silverlight was the technology of choice for Obama's inauguration - winning the bid over flash. Whilst b2b clients still seem to be wary of the penetration of Silverlight in the corporate sector they agree that the viewer experience is better and the streaming quality excellent. In the UK we now have three main broadcasters choosing Silverlight as the technology of choice for streaming their TV channels - Setanta, ITV and Sky. I'm sure that security and user experience played a significant part in these decisions. I look forward to seeing how the Flash vs Silverlight battle progresses amongst professional content owners and users.
