As well as that I hear support for Silverlight is being dropped in Linux,
which I dont understand, as a lot of people are streaming films and things
now on their computers. I know Love Film only works if you have Silverlight,

then that is another thing that goes against having an Ubuntu only
laptop.....
Silverlight has not been dropped from Linux. Silverlight /never/ ran on Linux.
There was, for a while, Novell Moonlight, based on the Mono FOSS
re-implementation of .NET. However, Moonlight was only able to emulate
a back-level revision of Silverlight - v2, I think - and did not work
on all sites.
Moonlight is no longer in development, sadly.
But Silverlight is a closed-source, proprietary tech that never worked
on anything except Windows and Mac OS X. Any company that adopts such
a proprietary tool is being foolish and should be told so by as many
customers as possible.
its funny really, you have taken the time to correct me in great detail,
but not really attempted to answer any of the questions I have
asked......I really appreciate the teaching session anyway.......
