Heard that with windows 8, microsoft will prvoide HTML5 extensions for all their .Net APIs… http://www.i-programmer.info/news/89-net/2654-making-sense-of-microsoft-net-and-html5.html
If so, will it be the end of silverlight?

I agree with Petr Abdulin answer.
And my opinion about Silverlight is that platform is strong, powerful and crossplatform (please, don’t tell about *nix platform – theres is less than 1% desktop PC that have Linux), it has many-many features for gaming and enterprize solutions. It will be supported for another ten years (in .net world, WinForms in similar situation – its not develoing in MS, but supported by MS; but who cares – Winform is still alive). If I would like to create client-server application with thin client, I select Silverlgiht.
