Silverlight's end of life has been announced. Microsoft is even phasing it out of its own product offerings. The example I am thinking of is their data visualization tool, Power View, which is taking the helm as their dashboard design platform. It was originally developed with Silverlight, but pretty much all current development is in the HTML5 fork in PowerBI. On the Netflix front, Chrome has had HTML5 streaming since late last summer. I think the bigger news is killing NPAPI, not specifically Silverlight. Edit: Typoes.
