<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

it using something else, but then I'd still feel like that
I was subject to Microsoft in some way.</div>
