>I have not personally done anything with it yet, but once the next version comes out, I will certainly take a very close look at it. If MS manages to give us most of the Windows controls in a stable SilverLight package, I am all set to develop rich user interface applications for the web (Windows, Mac, Linux...) AND non-web Windows environment with just one code base.

I agree. If silverlight becomes essentially a windows interface wrapped in a browser based VM (which it seems to me that it is), it could very well give web applications much the polish and functionality windows applications have a monopoly on at this time, while making web application development orders of magnitude faster and easier.

*IF* it works and is carried forward.
