Silverlight doesn't work with Linux. There is a Linux-compatible implementation called Moonlight that is being developed but it's not ready yet. Even if it were, Microsoft and NBC have restricted viewers to Windows XP, Windows Vista or Mac OS X. It's a shame that an inspiring event like the Olympics is being used to push a single company's software agenda and to deny those of us who value software freedom equal access to view it. Let's hope it's better in 2010.
