Speculation and rumor at the end of Silverlight and WPF
·
Scott Barnes, who had been to the fall of 2009, previously worked as a Program Manager in the Rich Platforms team (WPF and Silverlight), Microsoft has various gossip around one end of Microsoft's RIA platform (Rich Internet Application) Silverlight its "Unofficial Windows 8 Developer FAQ" summarized. His information was based on interviews with apparently current and former Microsoft employees.
When asked whether WPF is dead, he is in response. "Yes and No. The Yes insofar as WPF, as it is known, has reached the end of its life cycle and virtually no new code for this 'platform' written will be. " The genome of Windows 7 and Windows 8 will develop apart. "Undergo a No as much as we did when we decided to move everything to the leaner Windows 8 platform, faced the task, both Silverlight and WPF a diet in order to achieve a balance between the mobility requirements and compatibility . "
In presenting the new interface for Windows 8 in the summer of 2011, Microsoft had initially announced that must be developed for them now with HTML5, C + + and JavaScript, the latest since there is speculation about the end of the long propagated by Microsoft Silverlight, that in turn is a subset is WPF.
A particularly explosive take a Barnes' swipes against Steve Sinofsky, Microsoft's president of Windows, Windows Live and Internet Explorer. This was probably for some time been a staunch opponent of Silverlight-/WPF-Technik and was able to establish itself in an unequal battle between Windows division and Developer Division. Could also further evidence of the power struggle have been that Scott Guthrie, creator of ASP.NET and by then Vice President of the Developer Division, was migrated to Windows Azure and the former Server and Tools boss Bob Muglia lost his post of president and shortly thereafter left the company .
Barne is true that it all just "chatter at the village well" is, but it could put one or another element of truth in it. He fears that the customers could do for fear of effects of internal disputes on Windows Phone, and also on the Windows operating system to look for alternatives. Since the server business going back, says Barnes, could Microsoft Office products on the desktop and the Xbox also threaten irrelevance. He hoped eventually that Microsoft revealed and mood among developers would take a stand.
