So Silverlight will kill Flash, will it? Maybe it will. A lot of people have told me this and I began to wonder if the opinion had any validity. It took me less than 15 minutes of research to determine that it may not kill Flash but it will most definitely do it some serious market damage. Why?
Much of the future success of Adobe Systems hinges on the work done by its Platform Business Unit, which is headed by Kevin Lynch, the company's chief software architect.
