Here is a Flash vs Silverlight comparison on the Digital Clock Demonstration.
The effect is an all-vector, scalable sliding clock based on the user’s system clock.
It can also be customized to count down to your next event with this easy-to-use Digital Clock system.
How do you think about the effect of this Digital Clock?
Please enjoy it and leave comments!!
Comparison
Flash implementation: 60 minutes
Silverlight implementation: 2 hours (Implemented First)

The only big difference that I can see is that there is a flicker in the flash example when the seconds are changing. Also also think that the Silverlight text looks crisper.

Silverlight works fine…

Very cool flash clock, though both look almost the same, i prefer flash technology still, i am a sort of a flash tech geek, i love it, thanks for showing off your work, the seconds hand effect is very cool.

I must say that silverlight is a technology to take a look, when i first visited this page i did not wanted to admit that Microsoft made something better then flash technology, but it seems that t will give a fight, i do not know how the programming goes, if it is easy as actionscript or not but, i will try it out.
By the way, silverlight flash clock looks a lot better, very sharp and smooth indeed, better then flash, or did you made it look better then flash on purpose?

This is very cool. I am making a Silverlight project for College. I though a little clock might be nice to have and was just about to start making one from scratch when I cam across this. Integrated perfectly into my app. Especially good when i have to have the thing in by tomorrow. Thank you very very much :)
