While reading through the Silverlight Runtime system requirements, I found two important (but under reported) limitations:
- Silverlight 2 is only supported on OSX on Intel machines. Silverlight 1.0 works on OSX on PowerPC’s, but version 2 is Intel only.
- The new support for Windows 2000 is only for Silverlight 2. Silverlight 1.0 apps will not work there.
While I understand the Windows 2000 limitation. Back porting the Silverlight 1.0 makes sense to me. But I hoped some of my Apple-savy readers (if I haven’t pushed them all away) could tell me whether the PowerPC story matters. Will non-support for Silverlight 2 matter to PowerPC Mac OSX users?
