Whenever you can get Microsoft and Apple to agree on anything, you are probably close to a consensus.

Such is the case in the future of Flash and the direction that both of these companies are taking to support HTML5.

Here’s Steve Job’s post on the Apple site and Dean Hachamovitch’s view. (Dean is the czar of Internet Explorer at Microsoft)

Interestingly, there is zero mention of Microsoft’s Silverlight.

So long term, perhaps it’s buh-bye Flash and Silverlight.  Of course, this will take a few years and in the interim, who knows?  Someone will probably come up with a clever work around.
