The message told me, “Unable to install Silverlight.”
I clicked for “More information”:
According to the error code, it “installed successfully”. Hmmmm!
The things that do not make sense. When you add 1+1 and arrive at 3. It cannot be true. But all too often, the available information points to the fact that it is. This is just one of the many types of nonsense that this blog aims to share with the world...
What is Silverlight? What does it do? Why would I want it?
ReplyDeleteSlightly techy answer: It's like Adobe Flash but from Microsoft.
ReplyDeleteLess techy answer with marketing bullshit: It's an exciting Microsoft technology which enables rich web content and media.
In other words: Microsoft's new thing for developers to use to make websites look pretty and stream video.
When it's needed, I imagine you shouldnt' really have to "do" anything to get it, it'll probably just turn up, or "suggest" you into installing it.
It has already 'suggested' I might like it. I ignored the suggestion. I'm sure I've got Flash kicking about here somewhere...I don't need anymore shit on this thing, it's slow enough as it is...
