Open web dev solved for MSFT Silverlight, Android fragmentation #HTML5

So here’s your basic conundrum… you could develop for someone’s vertical stack and be at the mercy of their whims and moods…..

-or-

You could develop for the open web, which is open, ubiquitous, and subject to no one’s whim.

Your call….

In a post aimed at informing Windows Phone developers about developing on Windows Phone 8, it appears Microsoft has managed to raise more questions and concerns than simply reaching out to developers starved for information.

Oh wait, there is some relief…

However, in Microsoft’s defense, commenters to the ZDNet post argue that the situation with Windows Phone is no worse than the fragmentation situation with Android.

Cold comfort indeed. Oh yeah,  developing for the open web solves for the Android fragmentation as well…..

But please, don’t just take my word for it…
