What is silverlight?
 

The post about the sharks vs killer whales requires you to instal silverlight. What is it? Does it contain spy/mal/virus crap? I've been getting crap from everywhere lately. Seems like the worst time I can ever remember for so much crap being spread around the net.

Silverlight is from Micosoft, I've installed on at least 2 computers with no issues. Don't know what it does, just required for some stuff as you found out.

Thanks


Why the heck we need more windows applications to watch a video is beyond me. Has to be some kind of MS powerply again. Pisses me off. Sorry to rant!

its MSFT's answer to flash and Quicktime.
