Following I published a blog publish final week about Microsoft;s shift in its Silverlight strategy (depending on an interview I did at the Expert Developers Conference with Server and Instruments President Bob Muglia), there were loads of concerned and angry Silverlight developers and buyers.Numerous of those unhappy campers had been reacting not so significantly to my publish,
Office Pro Plus 2010 Activation clave, but to subsequent reinterpretations which claimed Silverlight was dead (some thing I by no means wrote and Muglia by no means stated).In a November 1 post towards the Silverlight Crew Blog, Muglia attempted to relaxed the storm.Muglia stated the interview where he spoke about Silverlight at the PDC was “accurately reported.” Inside new publish, he reconfirmed that Microsoft is working on the next release of Silverlight (which will be cross-platform) and that Silverlight will continue to be important to developers with the Windows Phone and Windows markets.Muglia restated that Silverlight is a good development platform for media and enterprise applications. “Silverlight provides a rich UI framework that enables smooth animations and lends itself very well to touch input and embedded devices,
Office 2010 Standard clavegen,” he noted (meaning, in this case Windows Phones and embedded devices, not slates/tablets).Muglia also said, as I blogged final week, that Microsoft no longer considers Silverlight as the best way to install a single runtime on all devices. For that,
Office Standard 2010, Microsoft is planning to rely on HTML. From today;s publish:“Lastly, there has been massive growth within the breadth and diversity of devices made by a wide variety of vendors providing both open and closed systems. When we started Silverlight, the number of unique/different Internet-connected devices with the world was relatively small, and our goal was to provide the most consistent,
Microsoft Office 2010 Home And Business, richest experience across those devices. But the world has changed. As a result, getting a single runtime implementation installed on every potential device is practically impossible. We think HTML will provide the broadest,
Office 2010 Pro Product Key, cross-platform reach across all these devices. At Microsoft, we’re committed to building the world’s best implementation of HTML 5 for devices running Windows, and at the PDC, we showed the excellent progress we’re making on this with IE 9.”What does this mean to folks who were betting on Silverlight as Microsoft;s Web design/development platform? That;s not pretty as clear.Will Microsoft be spending energy to port Silverlight to new platforms like Android, as was originally promised and assumed? Will Silverlight ever be available on Apple;s iOS? Will Microsoft try to do what Adobe is and somehow provide a Silverlight-to-HTML conversion tool? Will Microsoft be introducing any new development equipment specifically for HTML and if so, when? No word on any of those questions (so far).What other questions about Silverlight;s future do you still have soon after reading Muglia;s update today?
