    I have worked on several projects with silverlight and windows mobile for MS that were a complete failure.

    We were trying to bring games [4 different extremely popular games] onto the windows mobile platform using silverlight and the plug was pulled due to the fact that the processor could not handle smooth gameplay.

    I am not surprised they pulled the plug on flash & silverlight. I was very surprised when I first opened netflix and saw that they were using silverlight.

    At this point who misses flash while browsing on a phone or tablet?

    • I have flash on my phone, don't you?i_monk
    • Silverlight should never have been allowed to live in the first place.Continuity
    • I think Netflix used silverlight due to the DRM keeping movie studio's happy....vaxorcist
