The already implied by others, one of the problems is that people are told not to install anything that a website asks them too. I found that some people also are so used to ignoring adverts that it's difficult to make sure they know that they need to install the plugin. What I mean is that if you were to go to one of my games (eg Hi Stakes Matrix) the game is quite big (800x600). But I had one person go there who didn't have silverlight installed, realised that they couldn't see a game, but ignored the little image it puts up instead saying "install silverlight from microsoft" because they just ignored it as an advert. Then again, I think silverlight was released as an automatic update and the numbers of users who have it installed is supposed to be quite high now. William

Is that not pretty much the same? Flash gives you a message to update your flash player. You have to go to a page where you have to remember to uncheck the google toolbar option (oh and click your blue bar if you're using IE). Then you have an activeX install warning. Then it's done. I'd say both are relatively painless to install. Besides, isn't silverlight already on a lot of peoples computers (Windows users) as it was on automatic updates. William
