Microsoft: Please read and give clear guidance. I don't want to be developing for a dead platform!


http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/09/09/microsoft_html_5/


the rumors everywhere silverlight toast or on it's way out. wpf dead duck no real reason for existence.

we're deciding right if should going html 5 or silverlight. i'm leaning silverlight's way because of scalabilty , richness of ui real pita in html 5, if ms going abandon , go down route of forking html 5 don't want waste finite resources building silverlight.

we need clear , explicit guidance and positioning you're plans are, otherwise you're making decision me leaving in air have choose industry standard , safe way of doing things html 5 , live deep hatred of javascript.

rumors , opinions great stirring pot, , there lot stirring out there in regards html 5 , silverlight. 

so take the approach of looking @ going on.  microsoft pumping lot of resources silverlight.  it is now web, phone, , soon-to-be embedded enabled.  not going anywhere time soon.  past several years, microsoft's premiere conferences (pdc , mix) have been focused largely on silverlight.  scott guthrie has gone on record countless times power of silverlight , it's importance in microsoft's future web offerings.

is html 5 going take of dev space silverlight?  sure.  there projects on edge can done in html 5.  however, application space, html 5 won't able touch the structured development platform silverlight offers.  basically be javascript hacking that, although come tremendous way, has been around ever.

i encourage to read the post brad becker (which linked @ bottom of posted article) on future of silverlight. http://team.silverlight.net/announcement/the-future-of-silverlight/

however, end of day, guess see.  have 1 additional thought on html 5 replacing silverlight.  yes, ie9 support html 5 , of new features.  consider this, still struggling many (especially large enterprise) customers to them off of ie 6.  how there going wide spread adoption of ie9?

hope helps.
