Difference between Java Flash player and Windows Silverlight

[Sneaky07]

Does anyone know why Microsoft made Windows Silverlight? I would have never guessed Microsoft making something like this because of the popular use of the EDIT: Adobe Flash player. I don't know it may just be me... but I was just wondering if anyone else has thought about this because it seems pointless to me.
