I didnt' say it was wonderful. I was simply calling out pebkac for calling it terrible when he probably has no clue what it even is or has never messed with it.

and according to this site it shows mac OSX is supported.

Yes, I do know what it is, and yes I have installed it on my mac. And I have yet to find a website that works properly on my mac using silverlight. Please don't make such assumptions in the future.

When I went to the website, none of the buttons were even clickable. (although I did finally get it to work when I booted VMWare fusion and viewed the site in Windows Firefox)

yeah, why on earth would I assume you'd have some bias towards apple products and automatically think microsoft products suck without trying them? Especially when you say it sucks and also say it doesn't work on your mac in the same thread. If it doesn't work on your mac, how have you had any experience with it or know wtf it is?
