And if Adobe cant' integrate it for legal reasons, then how can you claim it's so open. Something to think about.

The codec that Windows Media uses (VC-1) is more open than the one that Flash Video uses (the On2 codec). So not only is the quality higher, the overall infrastructure is better. From my research, it's cheaper to deploy a Silverlight video solution than a Flash solution in most cases, but that's still very dependent on your use case.

I think itis more to keep .NET guys from moving into flex. There are a lot of pure .NET guys who will be more comfortable using Silverlight's approach anyway. The use of MS Media will be an advantage in some situations as well. I agree it is hard to see switching if you are already a flash developer.
