STINKIN MS!

Why must I add yet another stupid plug-in this time "Microsoft
Silverlight" to watch the video via Firefox? I tried IE, but its
temporary per session and need to tolerate commercials.

Screw em, I'll pass and will wait for the Youtube version.


I've noticed that pop up for Silver a couple of times and finally
downloaded it. No problems and it works just fine.
BTW ... at somebody's recommendation .... (I think Harry) .... I also
downloaded the GOM player. Nice! I like all the custom settings
available, although I haven't tried them yet. But, it seems to be fast
and glitch free.

I have no idea what Silverlight is, though when I log on to the Windoze
update site, it is "offered" to me. What does it do?


Beats me. But a couple of links people provided here resulted in a window
saying that Windows Silverlight was required to view the video when using
Firefox. So, after a couple of times I downloaded and installed it and
could then view the video.
