We have been doing a fair bit of Silverlight work at the marketing agency I work for. While the development has been painful so far, we haven't had a chance to dive into the new 2.0 stuff. There are some demos I see that are absolutely amazing, like Microsoft's new beta Silverlight sight, and then there are other applications that make me want to gag.

Who knows, in the coming years Silverlight might turn out to be a hit in the Interweb realm. If there is one thing we can count on, it is that Silverlight has a very good chance of becoming a household name after the Olympics since Microsoft has signed a deal to have them broadcast over the Web with Silverlight.
