Microcrap Craps it Again
SidneyBlondell- Pros
- It's got a fancy name
- Cons
- It doesn't do anything
- Summary
- Another Microcrap monopolization attempt
what a load of crap from Microcrap
tuan-bui- Pros
- absolutely none
- Cons
- this crap byproduct from microsoft still exist because of stupid netflix. it only lingers around like a dried up poop on a dog's behind. everytime i play a movie on netflix..."plugin-failure". numerous time uninstalling/reinstalling, countless ways of removing and installing. still the same crap. NETFLIX get your head out of your ass and ditch this crapware
- Summary
Worse than Flash
CyberSkull- Pros
- I need Silverlight to watch Netflix. Not really a pro.
- Cons
- Always invokes the discrete (high-end) graphics card on my MacBook, increasing head output needlessly and quickly quaffing my battery. Very inefficient even on the simplest of tasks.
- Summary
- Don't use it unless you have to.
On Netflix does not work properly - Microsoft crap
charles.hine- Pros
- jerky picture most of the time -
- Cons
- jerky picture not synchronized with sound, resolved temporarily with removing silverlight from Library and reinstalling, but only temporary - MacBook Pro 1,2 Mac OS X 10.6.8 - true with both Firefox and Safari - it seems to screw up the whole web page rendering process, at least on Safari, even after one has stopped fustily trying to view Netflix. I have never written a review before. I wish there were negative stars.
- Summary
gooooooooood
elliotelliot- Pros
- gooooooooooood
- Cons
- noooooooooooooone
- Summary
Seems to help streaming to be smoother with Firefox.
pietro3_dotmac- Pros
- Functions automatically.
- Cons
- Still does not help with DRM.
- Summary
A little bit better than flash, what concerns resources
McUsr- 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 !
patrous- Pros
- It's free.
- Cons
- 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.
- Summary
Doesn't support PPC Macs.
gmalling- 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
jdillinger_dotmac- 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.
