Although my perspective is admittedly a bit skewed, seeing as I love Flex and hate Microsoft, I think the victor is fairly obvious.

The Microsoft presentation was very weak, relying heavily on the strength of one image manipulation library and a couple “non-Silverlight” services. Even I expected more from Microsoft. Give the video a watch and see if you agree.
