Silverlight 3 released

by Bjørn Storkholm 10. July 2009 12:46

Yesterday Microsoft released Silverlight v3. Trying to install the new version I had a few sad findings. First of all, Silverlight v3 is not supported on Windows 7 with IE 8. I sure couldn't install it, and figured it might be because Win7 is still in Beta or the fact, that I'm running the 64 bit version of the OS. But check their system requirements:

While trying to figure out what was going on, I tried to see what would happen if I ran the 64 bit version of IE8, and discovered that silverlight does not support the 64 bit version at all. But ok... Adobe flash doesn't support the 64 bit version either.

I think, that it's weird.
