+1  Q: 

WPF and Silverlight dead ?

There is a lot of talk in the twitterverse today that WPF is dead and Silverlight has a bleak future, and that HTML5 is crowned new UI king.

One such article here with further links.

The problem I have with this, is that's all very well for WEB Dev but what about Windows Applications, what next for us? Do we go back to (or stay with) Windows Forms, or do we somehow host HTML5?
