My guess is, this is more to prevent companies from using the key to create some software to make it easy for your standard user.
I dont think microsoft has abandoned silverlight, considering it is the main development platform for the new Windows Phone 7 OS (along with XNA for games)
All i can say is this is one of 3 sites i like enough to purposely turn off my ad block for.
Not all of the posts here are perfect, but this is an blog, not a .... well, i'd say newspaper, but apparently they don't do a huge amount of fact checking lately either.
I just happen to think it would be smarter business to wait till your competition has actually taken themselves out of the game before advertising yourself as an alternative, otherwise the competition "may" notice how stupid they are being and not destroy themselves.
also of course, what was said about shareholders of reuters also owning large parts of ap is probably true too
what would happen if google just stopped linking to any of the the publications that dont want them to. I imagine if they did, those sites advertising revenue would drop dramaticly. Sometimes you just have to prove your point.

Re: follow the money!
Google can't be a 'free rider' tho, it pays the ap already
smart business
