Microsoft wants to put their Silverlight everywhere, Apple won't allow it, so the next stop is Android.
Speaking to TechRadar, Microsoft's Scott Guthrie said they hoped that Apple would eventually open-up third-party plugins for iPhone Safari, "They might in the future, but right now it isn't an option for any vendor and so if they let us we'll definitely come. Until they open it up to third-party plug-ins, like Silverlight and Flash, we're both prevented from running there."
But its not like Apple's opening the gates tomorrow, so they need some other avenues to push Silverlight down our throat and what better platform than our beloved Android. "Google phone is slightly different. It's more of an open platform, that is something we're going to continue to look at. Certainly as it's gotten deployed and if sales are good we'll definitely keep our eyes out and look at that in the future."
