Implement Silverlight on more platforms

The fastest way to encourage adoption is to get Silverlight on as many platforms as possible -- Windows Mobile, iPhone, Mac (all flavors), Linux, Android, Windows Embedded, MCML, and so forth. The more platforms, the better.

        It very important to support more platforms as Windows Mobile, iPhone, Mac (all flavors), Linux, Android, Windows Embedded, and MeeGo.

        iPhone guys are adamant.. Google Chrome supports Silverlight.. what is holding back Android? That must be high priority stuff.. that way Microsoft can give Apple run for money!

        I think "iPhone" is too specific. Android is growing at a phenomenal rate. I'm moving my votes to the "other platforms" post.

        I think this is a Flash vs Silverlight deal not an iphone vs wp7 deal. Currently we are having to write code for every mobile device we would love to see SL come to iphone as this would cut down on development time for us

        I am all in on Silverlight support on Android OS. Would love to see it on iphone as well also as these are both media optimized devices.

        Android support would be fantastic, and I don't know of any technical or legal problems preventing it.

        Dislike!
        it is not good! Silverlight is a great product from Microsoft. Latest WP7 support Silverlight which is one of the features that enables Apps Development on WP7.
        Once Silverlight is support on iPhone, huge impact will be on WP7.

        If MS is considering support for Android as an immediate threat to Windows Phone 7 I guess I shouldn't expect this to happen soon. Some MS guy please prove me I'm wrong!

        it will be so cool if silverlight can support WIndows Moble,Android, Windows embedded and Iphone. it's more and more people use mobile to do their work and paly games.

      • ClimbClimb commented  · 

        If can user silverlight on Apple's product, that is cool

      • Asha shardaAsha sharda commented  · 

        I am interested in Sliverlight on the Android platform, for sure.

      • Peter Peter commented  · 

        The support for multiple platforums must be the main focus from Silverlight

        I will be the factor if Silkverlight will survive or die

      • Jim KeatingJim Keating commented  · 

        Would be extremely helpful to us.

      • Jim KeatingJim Keating commented  · 

        Platform breadth and market pennetration are the most impotant issues for us.

      • Dennis PerlotDennis Perlot commented  · 

        For biz apps the plaform we need is RIM/Blackberry!!
        Virtually EVERY exec carries one, a perfect place for Silverlight based dashboards.

        This is very important feature in the future
