You can watch Youtube and other popular video servers without need of Flash. A lot of great plugins for that like https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/446 , http://mozplugger.mozdev.org/ or HQTube and similar. Then movies will be played directly in your media player without need of Quad Core CPU just for one small movie as with Flash.
I watch eg. youtube movies with this command 'youtube-dl --get-url "url of movie" | xargs mplayer It works like magic. I don't use trendy stuff. I need things which works correct and are standardized. trendy != correct/clean/stable/secure/useful Silverlight is just try to have something another unstandardized in portfolio without real need. HTML is standard and in cooperation with JavaScript and/or Java you can have same or better outputs, but with much more LOW impact on whole system performance. Check some pages here http://html5gallery.com/ and follow your top/prstat/Task manager and then try some pages in Flash/Silverlight ;-) -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
