Hands down... MS Silverlight presented problem after problem for me.  I could install Silverlight on a Windows PC fine.  I, an experienced computer user, had to work hard to get Silverlight installed.  I am not impressed with Silverlight.  I have uninstalled the plug-ins from my Mac.  I have left them on my Vista instal. However, I run from a webpage as quick as I can if it has Silverlight content. Just my 2-cents as a web consumer and well, enough programming knowledge to be dangerous.
