Chrome dropping support for Silverlight
-
Probably old news but I was wondering how many of you care about this?[^] Silverlight will go, but Chrome's in-built Flash player will stay.
We care a lot. It'll cost us a small fortune to rewrite our customer self service app.

That'll teach you to rely on here-today-gone-tomorrow technology from fly-by-night little companies! :laugh:

We care and are forced to accelerate moving our (very large) SL enterprise app to HTML. /ravi

At work, we currently on IE 8; testing in underway to allow a probable upgrade to IE 11 and make Chrome available as well. That is scheduled for the June time frame. Now, how does that impact us? We currently have a vendor product that uses Silverlight; the next version is available, I think it has been rewritten in HTML 5, but requires IE 10 or later or Chrome. As a developer, I have Chrome; the general population does not. I was in a meeting the other day and saw a vendor hosted and maintained application. It was written in Silverlight. As long as IE supports Silverlight, we'll be fine.. if it doesn't, it'll be on the vendor to rewrite.

It's still working for me, and I have the latest Chrome version... :confused: But, if they did actually stop supporting it, then I would not like it because Netflix and Hulu both use Silverlight to display videos...

For the industry I think it is a good thing - it will remove support more quickly and force people to look elsewhere. Silverlight is obviously dead, so why prolong the agony - put it out of its misery! Judging by the recent WPF roadmap announcement[^], WPF may not be far behind! Honestly, when a roadmap article lists

Multi-image cursor file support in System.Windows.Input.Cursor
as one of the five things they've been working on, you have to worry about the longevity. It's a shame, though. If, instead of rushing out alpha quality projects, MS had held onto it until it actually worked, XAML would probably be everywhere by now. Another boat missed!

You must work for the same bank as I do, we are in exactly the same position with the added twist that we have 14 SL apps in production as well as the vendor app. The whole web stack stinks IMHO, the only reason we went to web was because SL gave us a desktop like UI and now they don't want to back to clickonce :sigh:. MV fucking C and the 43 additional libraries needed to make the pig work!

It won't cost a lot to add a note: "This program does not work in your inferior browser. Please upgrade to a more advanced browser to use this program".
