Silverlight and other Microsoft technology

Hi, what is the equivalent of flash and flash media server in microsoft technology?
I was reading about Silverlight and it does not seem to support video camera, or does it?
Also read about Windows Media Services. That seems to do streaming. But I am assuming that is only the server side right? If Silverlight does not even do video camera, what would the front end be?

Please only Microsoft products and no adobe product suggestions.

Thank you,
Tee

Silverlight would be the frontend. As far as I know (and this was probably as of beta 1) camera is not supported.

Streaming media is supported via Windows Media Services. There’s also:

Yep - sen is right. Silverlight 2 does not currently support (as of Beta 2) camera input.
