    I'm guessing that this really has nothing to do with graphics, and everything to do with a new RIA development platform. MS was never good at graphics and probably never will be. They are really good at making developers tools though.

    If you look at Silverlight as a potential competitor to Flex(which is definitely NOT a graphics package), rather than Flash, then it makes a lot more sense for an MS product.

    .NET developers will flock to it for rich interfaces as it'll probably be a really easy migration. Flash will continue to fill it's niche, and Flex/Silverlight will battle for the RIA crown.
    You heard it here first.
