This is sooooo marginally useful. On the off occasion that you are only using Silverlight to host a video clip and nothing else. Part of the appeal of Silverlight (as well as Flash) is to have the ability to create rich user experiences.

Also, I never get the Flash haters. These days I never find my computer slowing down because of Flash (granted, it is a fast computer) and there are so many cool sites that I find myself visiting that utilize flash really well. Just take a gander at what can be done:

Personally, I wish that a true motion graphics engine like Flash became part of every OS, controllable by Javascript. But since HTML5 isn't going to create the awesome sites I am thinking of, Flash and Silverlight are here to stay.

I hope that they do come to the iPhone. There are so many cool user experiences people could create without having to go through the Apple store approval crap.
