Great dicision! Silverlight is so buggy and was never a replacement for Flash. Going HTML5 is imo the best decision!

HTML5 plus a Windows-only DRM plugin.

Oddly enough... Where a flash plugin was highly unstable for me, the Mono version of Silverlight was highly stable, at least from my personal experience. So I'm personally saddened not to see Silverlight heading anywhere. HTML5 still feels clunky most of the time for me, it either doesn't work, or unnecessarily wastes system resources for me.
