No. We tried this already with Java applets. The fact that MS didn't cancel Silverlight the instant HTML5 started getting traction is yet another sign that they just can't follow what's going on (having made it to begin with is another).

- loewenskind 16y agoSilverlight is like Java applets, not like CocoaTouch or Android. With such bizarre unrelated comparisons why didn't you also point out that Ford still makes the Mustang?
- contextfree 16y agoHuh? CocoaTouch is the standard API for iPhone, Silverlight is the standard API for Windows Phone 7. How is it an unrelated comparison?
