i don't think silverlight is going away in the nearest future, but if you're really "infuriating", the only reason i can assume is that you based your whole business in a proprietary technology owen by a company known for promoting something new, and making it obsolete after two years. you jumped with both feet in a technology that won't be an official standard and multiplatform like one of the competitors (html5 + js) nor as widespread like the other most direct competitor (flash).

that would be _your_ fault, not microsoft's.
