Well, it seems that Mary-Jo Foley http://twitter.com/#!/maryjofoley) at last week’s PDC noticed a strange lack of content on Silverlight outside of discussions on Windows 7 Phone. She confronted Bob Muglia (Microsoft President in charge of the company’s server and tools business) and got him to admit that Microsoft’s strategy with Silverlight has shifted.
Microsoft is bowing to pressure to fully engage HTML 5, but has not come out and said anything about Silverlight being a dead platform, but he has said that the pace of focus has slowed.
I intend to get some dirt from @TimHeuer at the conference. His blog posts have denied a “shift as it is being reported”.
That is really BS considering that we have bet our near future on SilverLight. They better support it, cause we are not re-writing ProjectTrack anytime soon. Please make an evaluation of what we should be doing over the next couple of years.
