"To view this page you need Microsoft Silverlight 3 plug-in."

I don't think that was a good idea.

If you design stuff for programmers it should be as platform independent as you could possibly make it.

I'm having a hard time with sites that use flash (scribd) or the one mentioned above for stuff that should be done with server side code or dhtml.

I realize that in the case of scribd that might be a bit much to ask, but it looks as though they gave up on page '1'.

Weird thing is that I already have Moonlight (Mono-powered Silverlight) installed, but it still isn't working :S

I'm not sure why one would choose to develop with Silverlight over Flash - straight away you've cut out the majority of your user base.

Agreed !!....it's really irritating aspect of theirs.
