"Think again?"  What kind of an argument is that?  People keep brining
up certain technlogies not working on Mac OS or Linux as a bad thing.
Personally, I've never bought into the, "that technology does not
support obscure browser "X" or non-Windows operating system "Y" and
therefore is doomed to fail" argument.  As much as I wish it were not
true, Microsoft is one example of a company who has time and again
developed solutions for Windows only and been quite successful at it.
Not supporting Mac or Linux WILL hurt you a little, but it's still a
Windows world (unfortunately) and thus there is a huge market there to
tap.   The world is changing, sure, but very very slowly in this regard.
 
At the same time, I think Silverlight is coming out a little too late -
the RIA runtime has already left the barn IMO.
