Have to disagree with the VB6 analogy. There was a huge investment by customers in VB6. It had more developer seats than any other Microsoft development environment. There were simply too many LOC to be re-written. Silverlight has not achieved that market penetration. If Microsoft stops backing it the drop off from all radars (bus., dev., game) will be very quick.
I wasn't saying that Silverlight reached the same market penetration as VB6. What I said was that Microsoft isn't going to take it away and make it not work. Like VB6, you'll still be able to run it if you want.
