>>>IMO, no! Stay away from these little MS technologies that they will drop in an instance to serve some corporate whim. Make sure you adopt technologies already adopted by the Open Source community (who are driving most mobile tech dev now anyway). If MS is also on the bandwagon with it, so much the better. I believe the Open Source equiv of Silverlight is HTML 5 or some sort of combination with it. I actually thought Silverlight was already yesterday's news..

Nope, check this thread and the posts that were created by "Haggis"... they've been changed to "Fuchs".
