Microsoft dumps Silverlight

    Almost.
    Plugins aren't allowed on IE10 on Windows 8 in Metro mode, the native mode. Which means Silverlight won't run. Nor will Flash.
    Congratulations for all the hard work you Silverlight developers put in! Good luck finding a job. I'm glad you put your complete faith and trust in Microsoft!

    Bugger, I was impressed by Silverlight... hadn't used it yet but for intranets it looked really useful and only a matter of time before the plugin is used enough that it won't be an issue to use it on regular sites.

    It never seemed to catch on with any programs - very few things used it. At least that was my observation from my internet usage.

    I never liked Silverlight, and good riddance its go to be honest. Hopefully they can drop a few another useless products that they have developed.

    If you say IE10 don't allow plugins in metro mode... do you mean NO MORE annoying toolbars??
