Adobe Flash Player and Silerlight are comparable products.
AIR is an entirely different product. Comparing AIR to Silverlight is almost like comparing Java to Javascript.

S+S is the right move. at the short run that's the best move you could have done. But come one AIR is the past, AIR is too long to DL/install, AIR is limited. You maybe should have did a partnership with Microsoft to develop a kind of Twilhr on silverlight. lighter, future guarantee, support from the big player, almost every PC will have silverlight on it. in addition to that you know how can microsoft invests when they wan to promote their new stuf (I know what I am talking about:! :))

next step: video. not static one but with interaction. we can already add comments, msft, yahoo and youtube are trying to put adds on them. that's only the beginning, when the hardware barrier will be broken (WIFI everywhere on everyDevice), we won't see any interest in typing! today more and more young people are watching tv and reading blogs/website/internet at the same time.
