"Visually Stunning? I don't think so.

To this day, the Microsoft Silverlight installer package that comes in the dmg download says NOTHING about what it installs on my system and where. No "read me" file, NOTHING. Just a generic package installer and my fingers crossed Microsoft doesn't install crap onto my system that causes instability and/or slowdown my CPU? I don't think so. To this day, Silverlight stays OFF my computer. Trust Microsoft? Hahahaha... good one! Same idiots who bought out and borged Virtual PC back in the day and their first accomplishment was to screw op the code and have it cause a kernel panic to my entire system (which had literally NEVER happened before on that system, EVER). Then after ruining Virtual PC for Mac, they discontinued it. Microsoft cost many small businesses a loss in competition for a product and lost time/revenue dealing with their ineptitude and greed. And, THIS just scratches the surface. So, am I going to install Siverlight on my Mac when there's OPEN alternatives? HELL NO.

Well LEE123, the problem is that Microsoft has started to support Mac's with software they wrote until people became dependent on the software, then out of the blue, because they felt like it, they would stop supporting the Mac and then people were left high and dry. Internet Explorer being just ONE example. Why should I want ANY Microsoft software on my machine if I can't trust them to continue their development? The answer is, you can't. Ergo, I will never allow a MS software product on my Mac again. I don't care if it's the best thing since sliced bread. They've proven that they really don't care about the Mac community so why should I support their software? Answer= I don't and won't. Just my 2 cents worth.

I have no idea what people have against Silverlight. I installed it as part of the Netflix to watch movies off my macbook pro and it works friggin great. Way way way better than flash and everybody uses that piece of junk. Just my two cents dont really want to start a debate.
