Microsoft team hacks Silverlight for Chrome

Tim Heuer

Clarification on "hack"

Thanks for the mention Register! To be clear, the hack I mention is ONLY for the detection script that is an OPTIONAL (but recommended) component for the browser activation of a Silverlight application. This script (Silverlight.js) is similar to the SWFObject script used by Flash developers to aid them in detecting if (and which version) of their runtime is installed. This hack I note is NOT for the runtime itself, which is why I mentioned that even though most Silverlight applications may run, there are actually a few things that will be problematic.
