I read the link before. Maybe if there really is a battle between the Windows group and the development tools group Silverlight will be pushed out. It is still being pushed hard by the developer group and is more entrenched in .NET with every release. Real companies are developing real software using it. Not even Microsoft is arrogant enough to throw them all under the bus over an internal squabble.

I don't think WPF is dead, either. It has only just finished vanquishing WinForms as a desktop tool. You have never struck me as the hysterical type, at all, but IMO you are peddling hysterical speculation here.

>Read the link: WPF is dead, and there is a battle internally at Microsoft (Windows division = HTML5; Developer division is Silverlight) between Silverlight and HTML5.

>>If Sliverlight and WPF are headed to death row that genuinely surprises me. My impression is Silverlight in particular is being adopted rapidly. If true, this is going to cause a lot of distrust in the developer community. VFP was one thing. It was someone else's product and they kept it alive for a long time. WPF and Silverlight have barely gotten started.
