On a monthly developer ISV update call, the Microsoft evangelist suggested that Silverlight has a five year life span and that picking up HTML5 and Javascript would be easy for our C#\/Silverlight development team.  WTF!!!<\/p>\n

Microsoft pushing HTML5 is like Sun pushing Java.  The logic goes something like this: Let\u2019s create a virtual machine that allows programs to be run on any hardware (so you don\u2019t need to buy Sun hardware) vs. Let\u2019s support a virtual machine that allows programs to be run on any operating system via a browser (so you don\u2019t need to buy the Windows OS)<\/em>.<\/p>\n
