buzz around Windows 8 development is focused around the Microsoft Tablet tremendous pressure in the market with a new touch OS. However, announcements about Windows 8 is not music to the ears of some developers. Many Silverlight developers have expressed concern about the future of Microsoft's own platform for developing rich Internet applications. Whether or not this will be pushed aside in favor of new or emerging HTML5 Metro application development on native Windows 8 for discussion.
Recently, Microsoft has announced that version of Internet Explorer, Metro 10th browser that will ship with Windows 8 will not allow for the installation of accessories, including Flash and Silverlight. This version is designed to run on mobile devices, especially on the boards. The reasoning behind this is that the plug-ins affect the user experience that Microsoft is trying to improve. Furthermore, when asked about the future of Silverlight, Microsoft has remained relatively silent about his roll in over a strategy that tries to achieve. It is clear to see why Silverlight developers are sweating over the inevitable changes that come around the corner.
On the other hand, Silverlight 5 should be released soon, with improvements in performance and video quality. It is also the primary platform for developing applications for Windows Phone and integrated into the Xbox. In addition, Silverlight will continue to be supported in Internet Explorer 10th the desktop version of Windows 8, while running in Classic mode.
is not the end to end Silverlight, even with the announcement of these changes. This will be a year before Windows 8 will be released and even longer before it is widely accepted as a standard operating system. Many people today start a ten-year old XP operating system on their desktop computers. If history is to repeat itself, then it could take several years until Windows 8 runs on most desktop computers.
Some developers who have had the opportunity to experiment with new code base for application development on Windows 8 Metro noted that almost the same as Silverlight, which is based on XAML. Metro applications are also essentially based on XAML and Silverlight that porting an old application to the Metro is relatively simple.
Even though some people feel there is uncertainty about the future of Silverlight you can make it difficult for developers who specialize in this platform to plan for their future, it seems that Microsoft still has plans for this platform.
