In years past, the compatibility between most things Apple and Microsoft was limited, if not non-existent. Nowadays, Apple and Microsoft are making an effort to create products that are compatible across both platforms. For example, in 2010 Microsoft released a Mac compatible version of its Silverlight Web browser plugin.
Microsoft Silverlight Overview
On the developer end, Microsoft Silverlight is a tool for creating Web-based applications, similar to Adobe Flash. For example, streaming-movie and DVD delivery service Netflix uses Microsoft Silverlight for the streaming video elements of its website. On the user end, it is a plugin that you install in your Web browser to be able to view Microsoft Silverlight content. The Microsoft Silverlight plugin is compatible with Windows, Mac and Linux.
Compatibility
As of 2010, Microsoft Silverlight is compatible with Mac OS X. More specifically, the Microsoft Silverlight Web browser plugin is compatible with Safari, Firefox and Google Chrome, so you can use it with whichever browser you prefer. If you haven’t installed the Microsoft Silverlight Plugin and you come across Silverlight content, you will receive a notice explaining that you need to install the plugin to view the content.
Installing Microsoft Silverlight
To install Microsoft Silverlight, navigate to Microsoft’s website in your browser and download a free copy of the plugin. When the download has completed, double-click the DMG file to mount the disk image. Double-click the installer icon and follow the instructions. You may need to restart your browser after installation. You will need to install the Microsoft Silverlight plugin on each Web browser with which you want to use it.
Microsoft Silverlight Preferences
Due to the fact that Microsoft Silverlight is a plugin and not an application, you won’t be able to access your preferences through the top menu bar of your Mac’s Desktop. In fact, Microsoft Silverlight preferences are in a completely different location than the plugin itself. Upon installation, Microsoft Silverlight creates an alias in your Applications folder. Double-clicking this alias opens your preferences, not the Microsoft Silverlight plugin.
