Although the company admits the significance of HTML5, it said that the rich web technology that Silverlight brings is extending the Web more than HTML5.

“On the Web, the purpose of Silverlight has never been to replace HTML; it’s to do the things that HTML (and other technologies) couldn’t in a way that was easy for developers to tap into. Microsoft remains committed to using Silverlight to extend the Web by enabling scenarios that HTML doesn’t cover. From simple ‘islands of richness’ in HTML pages to full desktop-like applications in the browser and beyond, Silverlight enables applications that deliver the kinds of rich experiences users want,” said Becker, Project Management Director and Developer of Microsoft platforms.
