You're complaining? You want it back? And you're using a .x version as a scale? That's almost honest. Version 5 for OS X was released in 2000. Support ended in 2005, 2 years after development ended, which was the result of a 1997 agreement between Apple and MS. Apple replaced IE with Safari. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Explorer_for_Mac > Moving to something somewhat more analogous to an OS, I'd be > interested in knowing if Silverlight 1 is still being supported. > After all, > I can imagine that there are people who would say that it works just > fine for them and don't want the troubles of an upgrade, etc. Iterative versions of Silverlight are free. OS X upgrades, not so much. And analogous to an OS, even less so much. Actually, not at all; it's a Flash competitor. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
