Hi Sam,

Some advantages:

  1. Silverlight includes a subset of the Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) technology, which greatly extends the elements in the browser for creating UI. WPF lets you create immersive graphics, animation, media, and other rich client features, extending browser-based UI beyond what is available with HTML alone.

  2. Extensions to JavaScript. Silverlight provides extensions to the universal browser scripting language that provide control over the browser UI, including the ability to work with WPF elements
 
 3. Integration with existing applications. Silverlight integrates seamlessly with your existing JavaScript and ASP.NET AJAX code to complement functionality you have already created

 4. Networking support. Silverlight includes support for HTTP over TCP. You can connect to WCF, SOAP, or ASP.NET AJAX services and receive XML, JSON, or RSS data.

Silverlight offers cross-domain support for applications,Silverlight plugin is just a 1MB download and is supported in windows XP and above.Silverlight also has a browser plugin but still needs to reach at pace with flash.
supports asynchronous calls

Benefits of Ajax

Ajax is absed on open standards so widely accepted and supported.Bandwidth usage of web is less as specfic demands are accomplished.Works with Flash and FlexKey component of Web2.0 apps
benefits of regular web apps like low cost etc.supports asynchronous calls.

Disadvantages of Ajax

Ajax also uses javascript,CSS and XHTML but there is an issue of cross browser compatibility that is what might work on one browser might not work on another browser which makes the debugging difficult.
Benefits of Flash / Flex.
