Flash vs. Silverlight? Ashot puts money where his mouth is... $100 exactly. May 22, 2008

Ashot bets Hepp that one year from today Flash (as a platform for building rich internet applications) will be a "joke".

Ashot says people will still use Flash for many things, including light applications, but common popular agreement among engineers will be Flash is a toy and not well suited for heavy lifting Internet applications. Instead, Ashot insists Silverlight will be considered THE platform of choice for RIA engineering.

Who will win in this battle of the ages? Both are hardcore Flash junkies, but one is certainly more fanboy than the other.
