Mathew's comments: Zucker is wrong to be so smug

    Clarification: Silverlight works on WIndows, Mac OS and Linux (through the Moonlight plug-in). It works on pretty much most of the major browsers (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera and Konquerer).

    Thanks, Paul. You are quite right that Silverlight works on Macs -- but only ones that have an Intel chip in them (I believe older ones can't run it). And as far as Moonlight goes, even the developer says that it isn't able to play most of the NBC content yet (http://jeffreystedfast.blogspot.com/2008/08/moo...)

    This is only vaguely related, but as a TV-free household, I've found the coverage rather frustrating. We obviously can't watch NBC north of the border, and the CBC sites only kinda, sort of work on my MacBook. Plus, the CBC's 'on demand' content is mostly highlights. The CBC hasnt achieved the Olympics webcast nirvana yet.

    Thanks for the comment, Darren -- I've found much the same thing.

    Silverlight runs on Windows and OS X. Silverlight 1 runs on PPC and Intel Macs using Safari; Silverlight 2 runs on Intel Macs using Safari 2 or 3.

    Thanks Mathew for sharing valuable information. I visited your photo gallery but it seems the picture needs to resize, it doesn't fit in the frame: http://www.mathewingram.com/photos/

    It is a shame that it comes to this. Silverlight is an issue. Coming from a Mac guy, so have a PC just sitting there for when I need it.
