- theshrike79 4y agoSilverlight was around for 12 years (9/2007 - 1/2019). Not exactly a shooting star. It was technically better than Flash in every way, but the Internet was in its "Micro$oft bad!" -mode at the time and shunned everything they made. They also took a bit too long to provide proper clients for OS X and Linux.
- Joel_Mckay 4y agoIf I recall it was mostly the DRM and codec-licensing that strangled most projects. Silverlight itself was actually relatively good at the time, but HTML5 media tag standardization made it along with Real-player, QuickTime, and Flash effectively obsolete for their primary use-cases.
