By definition, a Rich Internet Application runs on its own client, not in a web browser. If Silverlight is just a browser plugin, the use of "RIA" in their marketing is misleading. Adobe Apollo is a RIA platform, Yahoo Widget Engine is a RIA platform. But so far, Silverlight just looks like a Flash wanna-be.
Apollo's fatal flaw is "view source" - a feature Adobe shows off proudly. If MS gives us a standalone Silverlight runtime that runs compiled code, then we'll have a platform we can use for secure corporate RIAs, and Silverlight will have a compelling reason to choose it over Flash.
