We have a 15M application in Silverlight that is anything but dead. The demand from businesses exceeds our capability to develop it. We have a quite a backlog of customers to implement. It depends on what you want whethere AspNet MVC or Silverlight is better. Fox is still going strong after being declared dead, how many years ago?
