I replied with the cow/duck comment because I couldn't believe you
thought (or at least implied that you thought) that I was referring to
corporations as closed or open-source instead of their products and/or
attitudes towards software licensing.
In regards to Silverlight, I do not have any evidence for or against
besides Microsoft's track record. I trust Adobe much more than I trust
Microsoft and Novell.
