Silverlight Developers Rally Against Windows 8

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the we're-not-gonna-take-it dept.

aesoteric writes "A legion of Silverlight developers have threatened revolt after Microsoft made no mention of Silverlight or .Net in the vendor's brief video preview for its upcoming Windows 8 operating system. Developers expressed fears Microsoft might let their investment in skills 'die on the vine' as Redmond finally embraces open standards. Microsoft, for their part, have told developers they can't say more until September."

    Oh please.

    Seriously? Microsoft is blowing off Silverlight and .NET for Windows 8?

    Is this some sort of Slashdot Fantasy?

    The premise of this "story" is so outside the realms of reality, it's hard to take seriously, and I start to wonder about the motives of the submitter.

    Again, seriously? Microsoft is blowing off Silverlight and .NET for Windows 8?

    Get off the CRACK.
