Microsoft ubiva Silverlight, HTML5 nova ljubav?Citat:
Microsoft is facing a wave of disbelief and anger from Windows programmers after saying that it is demoting the would-be Flash-killer Silverlight for HTML5.
Server and tools president Bob Muglia apologized for any "controversy and confusion" caused by comments in an interview last week, when he said that Microsoft has shifted its strategy of using Silverlight to deliver a cross-platform runtime
Silverlight will be used for Windows Phones and client UIs — the latter taking Silverlight back to the Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) from whence it came.
"Silverlight will continue to be a cross-platform solution, working on a variety of operating system/browser platforms, going forward," [Muglia] said. "But HTML is the only true cross platform solution for everything, including [Apple's] iOS platform."
A brilliant afterthought to the heavy WPF in 2007, Silverlight quickly became Microsoft's Flash. In 2010, it became a victim of history. With Apple banning Flash from the iPad and iPhone, and with Silverlight still not running on iOS, being "the other" Flash was a dangerous and limiting label.

Dal je moguce da je MS resio da ustane protiv svojih fanboja i da razmislja svojom glavom? Efektivno proglasise Silverlight za slepo crevo i iskreno me ne cudi, ovaj silverlight mi se ionako doima kao slepo crevo koje bi svasta htelo a nista nije umelo ni smelo. HTML5 je keva za silverlight (sto nije tesko posto je i Flash keva za silverlight), nazalost, jos samo kad bi ga standardno opremili sa svim onim dobrim stvarima iz silverlighta (strong typed script jezik za pocetak).
Meni je najvise zao ovih ljudi "Your comments (or at least the snippets that appeared in print) may have done irreparable damage to my career, and many others like myself that threw all of their eggs into the Silverlight basket", al to je definitivno problem svakoga ko sva jaja stavi u jednu torbu. Uostalom, ako zazivi WP7 mozda ih i dalje ceka neki gig. Losa strana je sto mi se cini da ce sav taj visak ljudstva koji je otisao u Silverlight dev sad da krene da trazi poslove u .NET general devu, losa vest za ionako poljuljane plate i job security.
I naravno, slatka osveta FOSSera na kraju
"Open sourcers might chuckle at the predicament of the Windows fan: if Siverlight had been an open source project, they might argue, then Microsoft's army of programmers wouldn't been left hanging when the project's primary backer changed its roadmap."
Sloba je za 12 godina promenio antropološki kod srpskog naroda. On je od jednog
naroda koji je bio veseo, pomalo površan, od jednog naroda koji je bio znatiželjan, koji
je voleo da vidi, da putuje, da upozna,
od naroda koji je bio kosmopolitski napravio narod koji je namršten, mrzovoljan,
sumnjicav, zaplašen, narod koji se stalno nešto žali, kome je stalno neko kriv - Z.Đinđić

), mada daleko od toga da sam polagao "sva jaja u jednu korpu" kao što si rekao. Oh well, ostaje mi da se okalim u novom Flex4 dok se ne pojave ozbiljni HTML5 alati.
