I like the automatic die-hard assumption that MS will abandon Silverlight and it won't be usable as a platform any more. Also, that nothing could replace it, even though they are saying html5/js will replace it.<p>Seriously... If that's MS's path, and you're following it, just... You know, follow it. It's not that hard.<p>Or go your own path, and pick the language you want to use.
what are fun are the reactions of those "wtf, what now?!" microsoft fanboys.
