Microsoft is still confused about the future of HTML5 and Silverlight?

Today, I saw an interesting message pushed by irrlicht author ambiera. Although it has little to do with iPhone development, I have probably finished reading it because it involves Windows Phone 7 and HTML5.

The general implication is that someone just arrived at the MS headquarters for a week and found a factional competition within Ms On HTML5 and Silverlight technologies. Besides, it is mentioned that WPF is dead.

"Right now there's a faction war inside Microsoft over HTML5
Silverlight. Oh and WPF is dead... I mean... it kind of was... but now ..
Funeral ."

 

It is also mentioned that HTML5 is a replacement of WPF, and MS will still execute its usual "embrace and extend" (embrace and extend ") Strategy for HTML, and then branch HTML5, use localized windows APIs to specialize JS/HTML5 in windows.

"HTML5 is the replacement for WPF .. ie team want to fork the HTML5 spec by bolting on custom windows API's via JS/HTML5"

From this point of view, Silverlight will be marginalized, but new information is also seen, because in the new Windows Phone 7, the development platform of common apps is Silverlight, obviously, Ms does not want Silverlight to be marginalized.

This is not what I'm most interested in. The most interesting thing is that Hadi harsiri posted an article on his blog about anti-Silverlight. "WTF you got against Silverlight ?!"

There are many interesting points mentioned in this article. The quality of post-article comments is even higher. The amount of information in many comments is enough to be written independently. I think of the "top family" and "furniture party" in China ", I really feel the international gap .....

 

The article and comments show that the foreign countries always give up the old technology to do a lot of harm to developers. Although from the perspective of technological innovation, this is a bold and progressive technology. In addition, some people outside China pay great attention to cross-platform (CP). When talking about ms, Linux and MACOs are mentioned. Some people even say that when developing web pages, there are almost no future generations in the company to install Windows for development, simply by installing Windows XP virtual machines for testing IE. It seems that some foreign countries do not want to "bind" with Ms.

The most radical opponents of Ms suggested that Windows Phone 7 will not be used in the end, because developers do not want to migrate to the Silverlight platform simply for the development of Windows Phone 7, so there will be little Developer support, it's better to spend more time on MS.

Of course, some people support Ms,
Let's take a look at the specific content. What we lament most is that these foreign buddies talk about completely different technical issues, and when they talk about technology, in addition, one piece of argument is put out for analysis. In light of the actual situation around the world, what I doubt most is that there is no such discussion about the attacks in my life ?........

 

 

Background reference: In ie9, Ms will support the new HTML5 technology, which is directly competing with Silverlight. In addition, in Windows Phone 7, the development platform of a common app is Silverlight ......
