Silverlight is a relatively new technology introduced by Microsoft in order to enable the developers to build multi-platform client GUI applications that can run within or outside of Internet browsers.
Silverlight empowers developers with great new GUI capabilities, combined with revolutionary GUI coding concepts that came to Silverlight from WPF. While some think that HTML 5 gives the developers functionality that is almost as powerful as Silverlight, the programming model of HTML 5 is indisputably old, while the Silverlight/WPF programming model is ahead of that of any competing software.
Unlike the currently available versions of HTML, Silverlight is 98 percent multi-platform (between Windows and Macs) and its list of non multi-platform features is freely available. As long as you avoid using those features, any application you build for Windows is guaranteed to run on Mac.
Silverlight is close to being 100 percent multi-browser (if there are any features that do not perform the same on different browsers, I am not aware of them) and any application you write using Internet Explorer is guaranteed to run within Firefox on the same platform, while this might not be the case with HTML.
Silverlight has a very small footprint in order to make Silverlight 5 run on your machine you need to download and install only a 6 MB package.
Silverlight makes it very easy to deploy your application via the Internet, whether it is a browser-based application or not.
Microsoft Phone uses Silverlight as its primary coding platform.
Microsoft pedalled back on Silverlight as they decided that Silverlight might undermine their Windows platform. The Windows 8 platform uses many Silverlight concepts, but is strictly Windows oriented.
Apple does not allow plugins for their iPhone and iPad browsers, since plugins undermine their Apple store application model. Microsoft followed suit and Windows 8 browsers for tablets and phones will not support Silverlight as a browser plugin. To the best of my knowledge, Windows 8 tablets will continue to run Silverlight applications outside of browsers. The Windows 8 programing model, however, is very similar to Silverlight and it should be easy to convert your Silverlight application to Windows 8.
There is a lot of buzz around HTML 5 being able to do everything that Silverlight does, and, undeniably, the HTML 5 application will run on the platforms so far closed to Silverlight iPads, iPhones, and Android systems. From my point of view, while HTML 5 is a great technology, it does not address the questions that have plagued the HTML/JavaScript technology from the outset namely its programming paradigms are not strong enough to support coding complex business logic. Additionally, HTML 5 will not run on many of the existing desktop browsers, so if someone wants to build a website available to everyone they usually have to use HTML 4.
