My post seems to be little bit off topic, but the person who is responsible for the Silverlight bashing is leaving Microsoft: Steven Sinofsky, President of the Windows Division
Maybe you have read the blog of Scott Barns, a former MSFT product manager, who describes the battle between the Windows division WinDiv and the developer division DevDiv, which the DevDiv has lost.
The P&P Team is part of DevDiv, isn’t it?
Maybe the WinDivs weight will now shift back to WinDev. In the moment there is too much focus on Windows 8 and the app market and too less focus on the evolution of software develment.
