Scott G. didn't keep us in suspense too long! He spilled the beans this morning about some of the new features coming for Silverlight - now dubbed v2.0.
With these improvements, it seems it will be viable to create full data-centric applications using Silverlight. And it looks like by first quarter 2008, a go live license will be available!
Goodbye, cruel AJAX/HTML/CSS/DOM/JavaScript world!!!

Oh Andy, you know as well as I do that Silverlight will never abolish the usage of JavaScript.. Flash didn't do away with it ;) I doubt SL will either. I think the JS frameworks will enhance the experience and allow us to "tie" things together in interesting ways. Well at least for your typical web site. I can definitely see (as we've discussed in the past) that full blown applications have a better reason for being purist. I can see games and office apps on the web using SL for nearly 100% of the application with HTML pretty much just setting doc types, head and body DOM elements.

Time will tell :)
Keep in mind that developers are using Adobe Flex today to avoid the pain of the AJAX/HTML/CSS/DOM/JavaScript stack.
You can think of Silverlight 2.0 as a similar solution which will be better suited to solving data-entry type problems than default browser technologies - and also avoid cross-browser issues and performance problems.
Yeah, of course, nothing can abolish Javascript... unfortunately :(
