Silverlight is actually available for Windows, MAC, and even Linux (through the MONO project).

“Install the Microsoft Silverlight plug-in now” (to watch movies instantly)

I wonder what shows up in other OS’s.
I’ll check later

I think that it’s their view on demand feature/service that required it.
If there is an alternative, I didn’t see it. There certainly should be for non-Win users

Netflix requires Silverlight? Isn’t Silverlight a Windows-only thing?

Wow. Same stuff as in Chrome – Flash video now easily hits 100% CPU load – and that on on dual core system.

Mozilla better provide easy way to disable that stuff.

As always, thanks Percy.
I wasn’t aware of the ability and process to run a plugin on its own process.

I’ve lived just fine without Silverlight, and QuickTime for a while now. If I come across something that requires them, well, then I find something else to do.
I doubt that they’ll be a shortage of things to do on the Internet any time soon. It’s the site’s loss, not mine.
Although I was pissed that Netflix required Silverlight.

I’d love to live without Flash too, but that’s not too realistic just yet but it will be.
