I was speaking with a potential client last week about a project that requires a Rich Internet Application front end backed by Microsoft SharePoint 2007 services. Surprisingly the client had been advised by their Microsoft consultant that the two most suitable RIA technologies to choose from are AJAX and Adobe Flex! The suggestion that a Microsoft consultancy would recommend Flex with no mention of Silverlight seems ludicrous but as we all know sometimes fact is stranger than fiction!
