Silverlight

In my previous post about Mojave, I mentioned Silverlight. Now, it's probably a nice addon and when it's finished I might install it on a Windows PC. And I really wanted to see what the Mojave folks were being shown about the "new" Windows. But MS is not known for creating high-quality browser products. I personally think the last one that they did that was really stable was IE 5.5. To their credit SIlverlight is cross browser compatible, which is great and not like their usual approach. But I really wasn't interested in installing a beta version of a MS browser addon to my production system just to see the Mojave videos. Some of my biggest troubleshooting headaches are with IE issues stemming from non-standard things like Active-X or the fact that IE is integrated into the OS. IE is the only app that we use that when it gets corrupted the main way to fix the problem is to reload the OS... who thought that up?
