Finally HTML5 sites have a IE browser plug-in, like Silverlight has on Linux.

On the left, Google chrome with Silverlight, and on the right is IE with Chrome Frame playing HTML5 video.

Even if HTML5 is the endgame for Silverlight, if the media wants to bark all day about Chrome Frame with HTML5 on IE, they should remember Silverlight is a whole web environment also, -and a browser plug-in.

A one-way privilege is not the answer, both have the right to exist on each other's systems. If a person does not like each others system, they have the right to make their own decision.


Silverlight is coming to Linux, so it is up to the person to accept/refuse it. EVERYONE has the right to stream multimedia on the internet, so the media barking will sound like nonsense, unless it balances the opinion.


After looking at this screenshot, is the media barking the wrong balance of information?
