Microsoft's SkyDrive Drops Silverlight

mikejuk writes "Microsoft's SkyDrive, a web service that provides cloud storage for end user files, has just acquired a revamped user interface — and it is HTML5 based. Yes, another Microsoft website has dropped Silverlight. How can Microsoft expect independent developers to base their future on Silverlight when Microsoft itself is abandoning it like a sinking ship? Whatever happened to 'eating your own dog food'? It seems that now Microsoft would rather eat dog food made elsewhere..."

Have you noticed Silverlight hasn't even had the same security concerns and exploits as Flash?

You have to be fair; noone will exploit a plugin nobody has installed or uses.

Almost every company that has worked with MS has gotten stabbed in the back.

Look on the bright side. At least you get to keep the knife.
