The only thing surprising about that is that they didn't shove it down our throats to begin with. I'm literally shocked it didn't come down as an involuntary windows update.

I agree with the clout thing. It's like Bush trying to sell us on Iran. Too many jaded users out there thinking, "not this time chump."
Still, the money cascade that put them on top of the console war within two consoles could also have silverlight competing in a few versions.

But its important to realize that the 360's success was in light of some very bad decision making by its competitors. Flash is only picking up steam and at this pace, by the time silverlight catches up to flash player 10, the current flash player will be blowing that away too.
