Probably Flash.
* HTML5 has widespread support amongst all new browsers and mobile platforms.
* Silverlight will probably move on to embedded corporate applications or atleast that is how microsoft has described it. Plus they have the funds to bankroll it for a decade. One thing about Microsoft, either they kill it early or kill it very late. There are some platforms that have lived long past everyone forgetting they ever existed.
* Flash is going to be fighting a shrinking pie of mindshare. It won't happen right away but once it reaches a tipping point these things go really fast.

So the question should be which is dead first?
