For those trying to make headway into Silverlight, there is a lot of old knowledge which needs to be gained in order for silverlight to become productive. 

For Flash-heads, there simply isn't enough material about to make a judgement about which one to use.  Based on in-house experience, and the fact that people won't have previous Silverlight experience (it was only released on the 14th October), Flash is tried and tested

Then along comes Project Rosetta with a 10 lesson how-to on comparing some old Flash-staples to new Silverlight techniques, code for both versions and working demos to boot!!

The new silverlight tools can now be accessed using the FREE Visual Web Developer edition of Visual Studio 2008, and there's trial version of Blend if you want to your Draw on :¬)

Enjoy
