First of all this article is very misleading.. Microsoft didn't quit Silverlight.. they are using it for Windows Phone 7 which is undoubtably the next generation stuff.
As I mentioned everyone believes web as we know it is dead.. everything is moving towards devices and running apps on TVs, mobiles, refrigirators and bunch of other shit and connecting to APIs..
They are pushing Silverlight as application development platform that runs on their devices (Zune, Windows Phone 7, even Xbox 360)..HTML5 is just something that will be used for simpler apps and obviously the web as HTML has been used forever.
- He says in the third paragraph it will be used for WP7ukit
