The Differences Between Silverlight, Flash, Flex 2, Apollo and Other Rich Internet Applications

Ryan Stewart over at ZDNet has one of the best blogs out there when it comes to the subject of rich Internet applications and the development community. With all the recent announcements from Microsoft and Adobe, many people are not fairly comparing platforms and don't know what each one truly does. In his post entitled "The how and when of Adobe and Microsoft’s Rich Internet Application technologies", Ryan has created a guide for how and when you would want to use different rich Internet applications from Adobe and Microsoft including Silverlight, Flash, Flex 2, Apollo and other tools/platforms.

It's a must read for anyone who wants to truly understand the differences between all of the platforms out there.

I have read alot of those blogs and many of them are biased to one or the other poatform in that, it seems to me, that is the one they use. I totally agree with you that there are different uses that each platform is uniquely suited to.
