The purpose of silverlight is to allow you to deliver WPF forms applications to clients on any platform without having to reauthor them for any specific platform. Eventually there will be native WPF runtimes released for all operating systems. It is not, and was never intended to be (even though they insist on advertising it with flashy entertainment things) a flash replacement. I don't think anyone will argue that you can develop more effictive applications faster with full access to a native OS api than you can with a scripting language. Kind of like stacking visual studio 2008 against flash cs3. Both good apps, but they serve different purposes.

I'm sure that Silverlight will have it's devotees, but I don't see it being a majority choice of delivery method for most web developers. I'll eat my words when I enter my first client consultation and they say "We want a Silverlight Site" TJ, very valid point.
