Hi all!

I thought I'd kick off a discussion about Silverlight, an emerging
technology that I have a particular interest in but as yet,
unfortunately, have had little to no direct contact with.

I find myself with a particularly horrendous Flash site on my hands
that I've had to maintain for the past few months, and the question
has come up about converting it to Silverlight to a) enhance SEO, b)
enhance future maintenance and c) improve interactivity. The
conversion tools we've tried so far won't work with Flash more complex
than a few shapes let alone poorly crafted ActionScript, and this is a
real blessing in this case, as it'll allow a proper rewrite from the
ground up.

what are your thoughts/experiences with Silverlight so far? Any
praise to give the current toolset, or advice on pitfalls?
