title: Future desktop LOB apps - WPF, Silverlight or... HTML5?
body: <p>The Silverlight strategy has shifted to Windows Phone, and for cross-platform web development, it's HTML 5.</p>

  <p>I'm just starting to get comfortable with the idea of developing desktop line-of-business apps with Silverlight out-of-browser (over WPF), but I'm not sure what this strategic shift means for the desktop.</p>
  
  <p>Should I shift back to considering WPF instead, thinking that when HTML5 matures, they might abandon Silverlight eventually?</p>
