I personally am keeping quiet on the public front because 1. I'm smart enough to know that questionable people will try to spin whatever I say into a HTML versus Silverlight argument. 2. I know that MS will respond with more solid messaging that reaffirms their commitment to Silverlight into the future. It's not going anywhere
People have taken some of Bob Muglias statements and completely ignored others. Journalists I can understand why they'd do it, to get sensationalist stories and page clicks. BUT tech people whom I will not mention, who pride themselves as knowledgeable people that do due diligence as part of their day jobs, why they have skipped some of these quotes is beyond me. To come to "Silverlight is dead" conclusions based on 1 or two choice quotes, poor form (especially if you do the research)!! And to even think that a change in direction for Silverlight signifies it's death, again its beyond me how you can conclude that. Companies all the time re-jig there vision and mission as there companies mature. Silverlight is maturing it's a good thing! Microsoft's response will set the messaging straight, then you will get the people that will either believe MS's message or not. Those that don't believe are probably those that have never believed in the power of Silverlight, and there's not much we can do about them. Me I continue to base my career on this technology and I am still 110% confident on it being a dominant and rich technology for many, many years to come! Note: This is the one and only email from me on this, don't expect me to reply to anyone until MS comes out with their response!
