In other news, so can working 40 hours/week, working less than 40 hours/week, or being unemployed. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Probably old news but I was wondering how many of you care about this?[^]
Silverlight will go, but Chrome's in-built Flash player will stay.

Sad. It's such an elegant language. I wish MS had thrown more support into it. Long live WPF I hope.

We care a lot.
It'll cost us a small fortune to rewrite our customer self service app.

It won't cost a lot to add a note:
"This program does not work in your inferior browser. Please upgrade to a more advanced browser to use this program".

We care and are forced to accelerate moving our (very large) SL enterprise app to HTML.

At work, we currently on IE 8; testing in underway to allow a probable upgrade to IE 11 and make Chrome available as well. That is scheduled for the June time frame.
Now, how does that impact us?
We currently have a vendor product that uses Silverlight; the next version is available, I think it has been rewritten in HTML 5, but requires IE 10 or later or Chrome. As a developer, I have Chrome; the general population does not.
I was in a meeting the other day and saw a vendor hosted and maintained application. It was written in Silverlight. As long as IE supports Silverlight, we'll be fine.. if it doesn't, it'll be on the vendor to rewrite.

You must work for the same bank as I do, we are in exactly the same position with the added twist that we have 14 SL apps in production as well as the vendor app.
The whole web stack stinks IMHO, the only reason we went to web was because SL gave us a desktop like UI and now they don't want to back to clickonce  . MV f***ing C and the 43 additional libraries needed to make the pig work!

It's still working for me, and I have the latest Chrome version... 
But, if they did actually stop supporting it, then I would not like it because Netflix and Hulu both use Silverlight to display videos...

For the industry I think it is a good thing - it will remove support more quickly and force people to look elsewhere.
Silverlight is obviously dead, so why prolong the agony - put it out of its misery!
Judging by the recent WPF roadmap announcement[^], WPF may not be far behind!
Honestly, when a roadmap article lists Quote: Multi-image cursor file support in System.Windows.Input.Cursor
as one of the five things they've been working on, you have to worry about the longevity.
It's a shame, though. If, instead of rushing out alpha quality projects, MS had held onto it until it actually worked, XAML would probably be everywhere by now. Another boat missed!
