Is Microsoft using Flash embedded in their Silverlight Windows ads? Fellow evangelist Raghu seems to have found evidence that makes his post a most intriguing read.
Unfortunately, as Raghu discovered, this isn't a case of Silverlight being able to display Flash content...it has to do with a workaround for getting copying to clipboard working from Silverlight. Having done a good amount of Silverlight work myself, there is a security restriction that prevents Silverlight from copying to the clipboard in Mozilla. The most commonly known workaround is to pass the data to a swf that actually does the copy to clipboard. Ironic isn't it ;)
Aside from this, if you want to embed flash video inside silverlight - you can ;)

Please remember that Silverlight is still a beta product.
