Darkcloud: Silverlight isn't dead. The biggest streaming service in the USA, Netflix uses Silverlight.

buktu: Silverlight is very dead -- it was not included in Windows RT, and Metro IE doesn't support it (while it supports Flash). Of course, it will be used by some for decade or more, but it doesn't make it more alive -- COBOL is still used by some, too.
Well as long as netflix uses it I wouldn't call it dead but HTML5 will change that soon.
Perhaps they're finally planning to integrate it's functions into .NET, kinda what they should have done in the first place?
While XNA may be dead, [url=http://ventspace.wordpress.com/2013/01/31/follow-up-on-directxxna/]isn't.

Fictionvision: Hopefully there will continue to be a way for independent developers to get games on the next xbox. I've discovered many good games through Xbox Live Indie Games, which required using XNA.
I think that Promit's post (my "isn't" link above) hints towards what's going to happen: Microsoft will introduce the equivalent workflow of XNA into Visual Studio directly, using DirectX directly.
