Silverlight adoption hampered by economic crisis

Looks like Microsofts's growth strategy for Silverlight is based on forced adoption by delivering exclusive content rather than features offered.

My workflow is as follows: (1)If javascript cant => Use flash (2)If flash cant => Use SilverLight.

Rarely(never) does it trickle down to step2. It is good to have a completion for Adobe flash, but unless Silverlight offers somethign really awesome that Flash doesn't, Microsoft shouldn't expect large scale organic adoption . Forced adoption by shelling cash on exclusive content is a different story and thats probably why they have to blame the low adoption rate on recession.
