Lovefilm: Why we're switching from Flash to Silverlight

I though Microsoft was going to, or might abandon Silverlight?

"Streams for sure."

Seriously - Silverlight?

This is a dead product!

Flash is only dead on Mobile - Silverlight is just dead.

I can't believe that anyone saw this as a strategic decision.
