Microsoft joined archrival Apple in criticizing Adobe Systems' widely used Flash multimedia software, creating a rare bond among the two computing giants.

"Flash does have some issues, particularly around reliability, security and performance," said Dean Hachamovitch, general manager for the Internet Explorer browser.

I'm not fully against flash, but I wish more would take advantage of Silverlight. I like silverlight. I want YouTube and flash games to run on silverlight and call them Silver games. :(
