With all the [hubbub](http://www.macworld.com/article/151281/2010/05/macalope_flashback.html) about the lack of Flash on the [iPhone](http://www.apple.com/iphone/), I have to question why [Microsoft](http://www.microsoft.com/) hasn’t been complaining that there isn’t a [Silverlight](http://www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/) plug-in either.
