You mean:

http://arstechnica.com/microsoft/news/2010/01/why-microsoft-isnt-working-on-silverlight-64-bit.ars

But that's a lie, "nobody uses 64-bit browsers"

The laptop I used was not some geek's tuned kit,
it was a default install on Vista on a laptop
bought from Newegg. It can't be the only one. ;)

That it runs Ubuntu 95% of the time is inconsequential.
If Microsoft has an interest in 64 bit OS, they need to
address both the Chicken AND the Egg. Or not.
In that case, Linux wins. ;)

Ok. Linux wins anyway in my book.. but I expect better from MS.
Some day that delusion will die.
