Will Honeycomb OS allow for the use of MS Silverlight in the Razr?

In residential real estate our Multiple Listing System system uses the MS Silverlight platform for home searches and photos. I would like to change from a Windows phone to an Android phone - particularly the Razr. Has anyone experience with the Razr OS downloading a fully operational version of the Silverlight platform?

Honecomb is only supported for tablets and wont work on a smartphone so the simple question is No... The Razr has Gingerbread and may see ICS but wont ever see Honeycomb installed.

Guess I have things backwards. From your answer I surmise the Razr runs on Gingerbread OS. Is it known if Gingerbread runs MS Silverlight. Also don't recognize abbreviation ICS? Thanks for any guidance you have/can provide. Happy New Year.

If I remember correctly Silverlight is only a windows base application and there isnt any method to install it on a Android device... So if I had to guess I would say that No this isnt possible.

Now as for ICS it stands for Ice Cream Sandwich which is the latest OS but at this time the Samsung Galexy is the only device that Verizon has with this OS so not something to consider at this time.
