Adobe's announced that Flash will not be supported on mobile browsers. It looks like the end of the web plugins era.

He's dead on. SL is not the cross-platform solution that was promised. It's not really MS's fault, either; SL and other 3rd party platforms are outlawed on devices that MS doesn't control. End result is that SL isn't cross platform. It can't be unless MS created some SL-to-X compiler, where X is the iOS/JavaScript/Android.
