Internet & Networking Apparantly, Silverlight is doing well. It was announced [.wmv] at a MIX '08 keynote that Silverlight is being installed on internet users' machines at a rate of 1.5 million per day. Silverlight is being used in places like Netflix and to webcast over 3000 hours of the 2008 Olympic Games.

Count Me for 5!

I've downloaded Silverlight maybe five times, all for the same box. I only wanted it so that Microsoft's web site could stop bugging me about it. Doesn't seem to have clicked with their site that I've got it installed.

I agree, i must have installed it about five times on my mac, windows xp and vista computer, yet the sites (technet) all state that i need to have the plug in installed, it's really annoying.
