However you put it, the adoption rate of Silverlight is increasing and it is increasing rapidly. The fact that so many large customers are choosing Silverlight for their mission-critical sites and applications confirms their trust in the technology as well.
A few days back, someone was asking me about the install base of Silverlight and whether or not I see this as a problem. There are 2 things I can say to that:
- The install base is increasing every day.
- Large companies switching to Silverlight will increase the install base, which in turn will increase the number of companies choosing for Silverlight, which in turn… You get the picture.
