Is it seems to be that Microsoft is going to let developers use an open source in order to build Windows 8 applications?

I read a post on TNW that says Microsoft is going to do so – this approach will be called “New Windows” and will let an easy way to develop mobile and desktop apps using traditional JavaScript and HTML 5 for the UI layer.

It is important to say that Silverlight wasn’t mentioned in the Microsoft enouncement…!!!

I think that these are great news, which will open doors not only developers of all kinds (not only .Net developers and MS dedicated technologies developers), but to all “kinds” of developers.
