Worthless "reviews" - Version: 4.0 beta, 1/26/2010 01:12PM PST

Why waste our time posting reviews that have no content besides, "I hate Microsoft"?

Flip4Mac installs Silverlight - Version: 4.0 beta, 11/18/2009 06:37PM PST

Superstitious

Many Mac users are going to end up with Silverlight because of the clever packaging with Flip4Mac. As far as I can tell, a user has to do a custom install to install Flip4Mac without it.

I empathize with many of the comments here which ask why we need yet another conduit for annoying animated ads. However, how often has the public resisted a "free" Microsoft product?

This is a pitiful attempt to gain ground on Adobe's Flash. Even with Microsoft's deep pockets, the have attained little success.
