It's weird to hear that WGU requires Silverlight. I'll keep that in
mind when I consider which college to go to for my Master's.<br>
<br>
By the way, I am that Army Reserves E-4 guy that was at the November
ALE-NW meetup. I subscribe to a 25 series list that is a good
source of Army IT information. If you're interested, I can forward
the info.<br>

<div>It's Western Governors University. The course is through
Labsim. </div>
<div>I was aware that there were limited alternatives like
pipelight, but I couldn't get anything to work in a relatively
short amount of time. And as a newb, I just decided to bite the
bullet and do it through Windows. I just wanted a more
comprehensive Linux experience <br>

that it would be okay to complain about this using this

<div>My university has a Linux+ course that I am in
that requires Silverlight to run so that a newb like
me would not be able to run the course outside of
Windows. It is so frustrating that I cannot get a
true Linux user experience of immersion into the OS
through this course. I was really looking forward
to ditching Windows for a little bit. Ugh! Just
Ugh! I know I could have probably done it using
something else, but then I'd still feel like that I
was subject to Microsoft in some way.</div>

<div>Anyways...I apologize for my rant, but I just
wanted to put this out there and see if I was the
only one that thought this was outrageous!<br
