Same here, many people won't use it...it's just an alternative to Flash.

Would have to agree... it's fast and solid... the features are great as well.

But I would also be inclined to say it wont catch on Hope it does!

MS will be releasing apps that will depend on SilverLight. I read about one being released soon the other day but for the life of me I can't remember what it was (it's hell getting old, lol).
