I don't disagree that Silverlight/MSFT will ultimately not be successful, at least not to the degree that MSFT would like.
But the ingredients are there for them to force the issue.
All that's required is an enhancement to the OS that unfortunately makes flash content a problem for system/browser stability, (a position that Apple and Google have already taken with their mobile devices) and alternatives, other than Silverlight like HTML5, to avoid the anti trust issues they faced in the past with IE and alternate browsers.
If they do that Flash is dead.
