I thought I'd share a couple emails I sent that I sent around to my managers and coworkers right after attending MIX08. At the time I was working for an interactive marketing agency who is a dotnet shop but does all interactive work in flash. These emails are the approach I was taking. Hopefully you find them useful or can point out ways I could do this better. Thanks, and enjoy!
Subject: Silverlight in Financials Sample Here’s an example of using Silverlight 2 to create an online financial services application. Play around with it and see that it’s a full blown app. It really shows the power of what we could start doing in the RIA space. I’d think there would be a lot of money in making the health industry a little bit more sexy from a technology perspective.

Silverlight in Financials Demonstrator
Yesterday at the Financial Services Developers Conference in NY, Marley Gray & Joe Cleaver showed the "Silverlight in Financials Demonstrator".
The demonstrator is a 'mock-up' website that shows the interactions and experience you could get from a silverlight enabled site. Features like interactive video that drives charts, client-side charting, drag & drop, client-side calculations (for responsiveness), cross-domain web services calling, etc. come together seamlessly to create a slightly different banking experience from what we see today.
If you have Silverlight 2, you can play with the demonstrator at this site
You can also see an internal (=not polished) recording of a walk through of the demonstrator from this silverlight streaming video.
If you want a script that helps you walk through the interactions, you can find one here.
