Is .NET Dead !!!!! ????

I am very much concerned about the future of WPF-Silverlight-.Net in the hands of Windows 8 OS.
Julie Larson-Green, Microsoft’s corporate vice president of the Windows experience said “This application [Windows 8] was written in our new development platform, based on HTML5 and JavaScript. … People can write new applications … using the things they are already doing on the Internet.” …
Which means, Windows 8 Apps are going to be on HTML5/JavaScript…..it’s really crazy? I don’t just understand the Redmond strategy behind it.
The people talking about is…..majority of the client developers are writing apps using HTML, and others are busy with Android and iOS apps. So Microsoft somehow get the guys back to develop Windows 8 Apps using HTML5 and JavaScript.
The noise and buzz being generated about the lack of clarity in this regard is puzzling to me.
Let wait and see!!!!
