Looks like Microsofts's growth strategy for Silverlight is based on forced adoption by delivering exclusive content rather than features offered.

My workflow is as follows: (1)If javascript cant => Use flash (2)If flash cant => Use SilverLight.

Rarely(never) does it trickle down to step2. It is good to have a completion for Adobe flash, but unless Silverlight offers somethign really awesome that Flash doesn't, Microsoft shouldn't expect large scale organic adoption . Forced adoption by shelling cash on exclusive content is a different story and thats probably why they have to blame the low adoption rate on recession.
