Hi Eros,

did you installed the silverlight?
It is a bit odd, as in case some site is done in flash, there is usually a HTML alternative version.

But it seems MS needs to spread Silverlight as fast as possible using a bit of pressure :(


Thanks,
Petr

If you try & download one of the Express Editions (http://www.microsoft.com/express/) such as C# or Visual Basic they'll prompt you to install Silverlight. :D

:D Nasty

Latest Express Edition I have is 2005, which did not wanted it :)

What does Silverlight bring to the Download Center, is it different from the earlier version a lot?
I do not like to install things like Java and .NET generally, unless necessary.

SilverLight is for Microsoft what Flash Player is for Adobe.
Expect to see another ... battle.

It just puts an animation at the top of the screen, if you aren't running Silverlight you just see an empty black space. :)
