Just remember: whenever you drift away from standards to something
proprietary like Silverlight, you limit the number of people who can use your
site. If you have a closed, controlled user base, such as an internal company
website, you can get away with forcing people to install stuff, but in the real
world, you will be excluding a large portion of the internet.
