    Works fine when viewing Netflix movies and much better then flash in this aspect. Hopefully Silverlight will catch on as I believe it beats flash hands down.

    I liked the last version; seems to still run well and maybe slightly loads faster than the last. That's all I've noticed so far. Great though, in the least.

    Works fine on the few sites that use it, but they are very few right now. However I predict since it is made by Microsoft there will be a lot of trolls bashing it and giving it low ratings, even though they've never even tried it.

    See sajjansinghania for example. Post says nothing at all about the product, nothing constructive, it is just stupid. What an idiot.

    Still doesn't support 64-bit browser versions. (But then, neither does Flash...) At this stage, I find that inexcusable for both companies. That is simply LAZY programmers.
