Apparently I do, but I really don't remember installing it.

#22Earlier quoted context omitted.
Firefox 3.6 on Ubuntu 10.4 and the site said: Your installed version of Silverlight is: 0.0.00000.0 So I'm guessing no...
I do not understand what's going through the mind of a developer who makes a site to display a software version number and does not have a special case for not installed . Incredible.
I guess he was making a site to get the Silverlight version, not whether it was installed or not.

#28Video streaming performance of silverlight seems better compared to flash, on those sites which support it (e.g. on demand viewing of dutch public tv, omroep.nl). So I have it installed on the machines I use to consume online media.
I do not have flash nor silverlight installed on my development machines, because I can live without the distractions :)

#30There are just so few sites that require Sliverlight that I find myself mildly offended when I come across one that tries to make me install it. Who are you, telling me to install something just to view your website? Good day, sir. Funny that that's never been my experience with Flash. Flash sites are horrible and I avoid them if I can, but Flash can socially engineer its way onto my machine through cool little in-br…
i second this. if i have to install silverlight for a web app that'd be something els.. but silverlight on a public website is an offence.
