<http://www.statowl.com/silverlight.php>Silverlight/Flash is a great adjunct
to an HTML web site (to play video or a browser game), but you're barking
mad to turn two in three of your users away (except to see a basic list of
stores). Aside from an initial flash in the pan from nerds like me looking
at it purely because it is implemented in SL - your analytics/KPIs are going
to look like a train smash in a month.

The average secretary looking for some info on the next Gold Gold Silver
Silver Chain Chain Sale Sale on her work PC at lunch isn't going to be able
to install it anyway.

Turning away 2 in 3 customers in the lead up to Christmas ... ?

Hell, we try and talk customers out of using Javascript unless it is needed
(so you don't lose the 5-7% of people on rubbish browsers, behind nazi
proxies/anti-malware, etc)

I'll get back in my box now.
