I thought it was only the bbc (oh well - not my problem - different country) and the olympics (who cares about that marketing tripe) ... but silverlight has bought it's way into the national Australian broadcaster ABC it seems. The ABC is a bit like the BBC, but the government funds it more directly here afaik. http://shop.abc.net.au/html/downloads/default.shtm Seems it's been there for some time (Mayish). And nobody cares. No news reports, no disapproval. All I can find on the net is some wanky design company saying how it and silverlight are so fantastic (not that you can find anything on google anymore), and a couple of mentions of it happening. Does anyone care? Looks like they don't. Sigh.
