Microsoft Silverlight is a piece of crap!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It does not work. I can’t even play netflix videos with it. If I go to the test page then that works... But to used it in the actual world it does not work.
I have never installed Flash on any computer and had it not work.
I’ve never had a problem with Silverlight. And we have clients for our products at work that use it, so I’ve put it on a lot of computers.
Flash always seems to work at first. But on some machines it gets flaky, and just keeps getting flakier. My wife’s home machine is currently going through Flash psychosis. Lots of hard hangs, and just outright crashes.
