The huddled masses won't ever escape the bondage of OS dependence, yearning to break free to the liberty of Silverlight, unless both Silverlight and .NET guarantee (did I say guarantee?) full and essentially-identical functionality on all OS platforms.  Sadly, this is anything but the case right now, even with Microsoft's own products (anyone ever heard of a little known product called WP7?)

Silverlight is a moving target, regardless of whether it's on Linux/AndroidDisaster, MacOS10/iOSBlackHole, WindowsPhone7/.NETCF, or whatever.  Therefore, it would not be interesting to other OS shops (like Google), especially given the fact that since Microsoft matters, Google anti-matters.
