Silverlight?
So I just noticed in Windows Update that there's a new bit defender defintion (like every week) and this other optional update
Microsoft Silverlight 1.0 (KB946609) Download size: 1.8 MB Update type: Optional Microsoft Silverlight is a lightweight browser plug-in for Internet Explorer and Firefox that blends animation, audio/video, and interactivity to deliver richer Web site experiences. Anything I should know about this? It's hard to find articles saying if it bugs firefox/ie or not... I'm a big firefox user so I dunno what the heck this could mean for me. |

I have no idea. Can't you just back up what you have so that nothing gets damaged? On the other hand, if you don't know what it does exactly, perhaps you don't need it?
But I do hope companies would stop using the words deliver and richer for anything web related software they release. |

It's Microsoft's own version of Flash

As teme said, it's a multimedia plugin by MS Microsoft Silverlight: Light Up the Web
It's actually very good, the video encoding etc is great, but you won't find many sites that use it. |

Sounds like you have eye on it Craig I've seen some videos on it and they all have been a bit better than flash videos (VP6 codec).

Silverlight's got a long way to go before it competes with flash. It needs to work on more browsers on more OS's. Until then, adoption won't happen. No one wants to make their website work for only windows users or only IE users.

Has anyone been able to get this to work under FF in XP? I only see the Get MS Silverlight button. Silverlight works fine in IE7 of course.
