Since PDC in late 2010 there have been lots of rumors and guessing about the future of Silverlight. In spring 2011 at MIX11 Microsoft released the beta of Silverlight 5 and announcing the final release of Silverlight 5 in late 2011.
With this post I’m trying to gather some of the most objective articles written about the future of Silverlight.
