Unfortunately it looks like Sky have no immediate plans to ditch SL[^]

With Google[^] planning to pull the plug for NPAPI (and thus the silverblight plugin) later this year, they'd better start working on one soon.  Mozilla's rattling sabres at NPAPI; but IIRC hasn't gone beyond blocked by default for most plugins to setting an end date yet; their ongoing attempt to writehtml5 based flash player[^] has them publicly aiming one step farther down the road than Google is (AFAIK they haven't said anything about removing their build in flash player).
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Does any one know of an a authoritative doc/link you can send to a manager as official proof that the chrome team has nuked silverlight.

This states that they are getting rid of the NPAPI support that (I believe SL requires - link?) https://www.chromium.org/developers/npapi-deprecation[^]

Not so much a support of Google or Chrome but Silverlight was poorly conceived and poorly supported by Microsoft. You really should make every effort to avoid it.
Contrary to popular belief, nobody owes you anything.

As Microsoft has fallen a bit out of grace, so shall Google. They will end up being their own worse enemy. It is just one big cycle.

Don't know if you have tried this, but you can temporarily re-enable NPAPI in Chrome v42 by going to: chrome://flags/#enable-npapi
- Make sure NPAPI is Enabled (make sure it is not greyed out)
- Restart browser
Of course, by v45 (approx Sept), even this backdoor will be sealed up eventually.

Oops!
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

There's a bad smell about this story.

Yes, it stinks. But let's not jump to conclusions and poo-poo the man.

I knew a Major, who got pooh-poohed, made the mistake of ignoring the pooh-pooh. He pooh-poohed it! Fatal error! 'Cos it turned out all along that the soldier who pooh-poohed him had been pooh-poohing a lot of other officers who pooh-poohed their pooh-poohs. In the end, we had to disband the regiment. Morale totally destroyed... by pooh-pooh! General Melchett, Black Adder Goes Forth
