While these pages are in Flash, they can/should also be inspirational for those working in Silverlight. Probably even for WinForms and ASP.NET developers.

As the good Jon Galloway pointed out the other day, Silverlight developers should really think of what they are doing from the user perspective, not from the developer "oh, shiny!" perspective. Don't just create something that could be done in HTML with a little JavaScript. Doing this just creates a site that is less functional, less searchable and overall less worthwhile. (yes, I'm looking at you Download center beta)

There was a backlash against Flash when people added it to their sites without consideration. Hopefully Silverlight can avoid a similar backlash, but only if developers avoid making the same mistakes.
