Great! Hang on i'll just head on over to http://silverlight.net/ and install it:
One moment, please, while the current Silverlight installation status is determined...
"Microsoft Silverlight may not be supported on your computer's hardware or operating system."
Who was the asshat that made that decision
IMHO Sun is massively undervalued by the market. Yes Sun is more susceptible to the Financial Market Crisis than any other company outside that sector but even so it is still turning profits - for those with short memories turning a profit was a rare event for Sun once upon a time. Sun is reinventing itself and expanding into new markets a process that scares investors (See IBM) but in the end can pay off big time with those willing to hang their balls on the block.
So instead of taking the least worst (for them) option they would prefer to remove Real from the market leaving consumers with such software titles as "Mac the ripper" which most definitely will not be encoding in their beloved DRM. I support them in their endeavor just as I would help Hitler voluntarily euthanise :-)
