What are the pros and cons of allowing Windows Update to install Microsoft
Silverlight - at the present time and eventually? I have a conventional PC
with Vista Home Premium, dual core processor, 2GB RAM and a reasonable
graphics card. Doug

It's intended for users. It enables SilverLight content to display in web
pages where it is used.

Heh, yeah, just for users. Developers are not going to touch it! Flash has
been around for 12 years.

IMO.
I do not intend to install Silverlight until I have a need for it. Currently
all sites I visit have media content that is compatible with my current
viewers. If and when I go to a site that has media content that requires
Silverlight, I will consider installing or foregoing the media content. I
expect that Silverlight will have several version updates before I need to
use it.

More crapware from Microsoft in its efforts to control the web. Stay away
from it!

Cheers.

I find that IE7 slows down when you have lots of addons installed. I
disable as many as I can in my main user profile.
