Flash Vs Silverlight: A Usability Evaluation

I have recently finished a paper on the usability issues between Flash and Silverlight. Please take the time to read the paper Flash Vs Silverlight: A Usabilty Evaluation and please post your replies.

How would you have carried out the experiments differently?
What do you think worked well? or not?
How can this paper be carried on to include other issues?

I look forward to reading all of your comments, Thank you!
