Is Silverlight Unofficially Dead Now?
by Dr. Roy Schestowitz
ONCE in a couple of weeks we count the occurrences of the term “Silverlight” in the news. It’s getting hard to find anything andMoonlight too is virtually gone by now. Silverlight was mentioned in justone news headline (comparison to Adobe Trash 10.1) in the past two weeks, so it slid into obscurity despite massive PR campaigns, sometimes from Novell. A few days ago someone called Alex told us in IRC: “hey, was reading minimsft’s latest blog’s comments, and stumbled onto this: ‘Anonymous said… Anyone know what the story is with silverlight? My team got a direct message not to use the technology. Received the same message in Windows Live. HTML 5 is P1.’”
