    May be good for complex code, but does Not seem to help with the simple stuff.
    Checked Silverlight home page -
    View/TextSize (largest -> smallest) doesn't affect display.
    Part of page text sized to screensize, graphic sized to opening window ( doesn't resize).
    If the people promoting Silverlight can't do a 'correct' page, ...
    I opted for a three, they can't figure it out, but some of it may be useful.

    Silverlight 3 supports H.264 and AAC. MS was part of H.264 standardization, btw.

    Silverlight is fine, I guess, it's natural for MS to half-ass it this far. They are losing badly and watch for them to give up on it quite soon, like Windows Mobile.

    I installed, the uninstalled Silverlight. It's an Adobe Flash wanna be. It doesn't support H.264 vid codec, browser only and development must take place on MS Windows. Mac users might have a problem with that.

    Silverlight is a top notch RIA platform. For your dancing monkeys stick with Flash. Otherwise move aside...
