"If you browse to the Democratic Convention website and attempt to check out any of their upcoming streams, you bump into the following limitation: 'We're sorry, but the Democratic Convention video web site isn't compatible with your operating system and/or browser. Please try again on a computer with the following Compatible operating systems: Windows XP SP2, Windows Vista, or a Mac with Tiger (OS 10.4) or Leopard (OS 10.5).

1. Which is crap for me, and, I bet, you.

I hope somebody has been saving files from the convention. My wife's Mac Book (PPC) doesn't work either.

I hate M$ and everything it represents.

2. What browser are you using?

3. MS plans to release the Silverlight plugin for FF/Linux *someday*.

Maybe.

So many of these Flash/RICO/Web toolkits have come and gone, even when released by major companies, it's hard to believe it will really be kept current on linux, usually the last port (or maybe solaris is the last port! ;) )

5. Evidently, Moonlight is the open-source alternative.

Not that I care to install it, but maybe someone will want to try.
