"A little bit better than flash, what concerns resources"
Version: Microsoft Silverlight 4.0.50524.0
Pros
Streams media within brows with acceptable definition, at least from the site I use for streaming media.
Cons
Pity the sound control doesn't work properly in real-player
Summary
To me it is just a plugin like any other streaming plugin, except that it performs a tad better than the last production release of flash.
-
"Not so great !"
Version: Microsoft Silverlight 4.0.50524.0

It's free.

Have to reinstall it on a regular basis to be able to watch Netflix movie downloads as sound gets chopped up or image freezes and gets out of sink.

"Doesn't support PPC Macs."
Version: Microsoft Silverlight 4.0.50524.0
Pros
There are no pros for this product, it won't run on my PPC Mac.
Cons
CNET TechTracker persists in recommending Intel Mac only applications for my PPC Mac. BLEECH!!!
Summary
Useless on PPC Macs.
-
"Worthless to Apple Power PC users"
Version: Microsoft Silverlight 4.0.50524.0
Pros
No cost program
Cons
Doesn't work on millions of Apple Power PC computers
Summary
Would be nice if they would alert you to platform requirements BEFORE you wasted the time to download and then have to erase the program.
