Steve Jobs killed Silverlight (and Flash). Not by providing a strictly superior technology, but by declaring that the category (rich web client) is unimportant. I'm unhappy that Silverlight is dead but not because of Microsoft.

I don't think that all development should be on the Web but I think the clear winner for Web "rich clients" is the browser, not all these plugins.

no he did not , MS killed it itself.
