In short - we love Silverlight, our customers love it and we don’t see it dying, nor will we abandon it. Silverlight might benefit from some improvements, but is not dead and will not die that easily. It might not be the “premier” UI technology of Microsoft (whatever that means, I never really understood that message) but it will thrive in many types of applications. Perhaps Microsoft raised the expectations too high when they announced Silverlight a few years ago and its benefits were blown out of proportion. I guess many people expected that there would be nothing but Silverlight.
