Existing users, 
No problem with installation (Aluminum MacBook Pro). I wasn't a fan of Silverlight when it was the engine for the live games on MLB.com (since been replaced by Flash) but I just watched a "guided tour" of seven galaxies on the World Wide Telescope site and I was absolutely blown away.
Okay haterz, it uses Microsoft technology, but if Silverlight allows Mac users to experience astronomy like this, I fully embrace it. Amazing stuff.

Mac-Users??? - Leppe
Mac-users? I guess you mean Intel users!I prefer Flash! Not because I hate Microsoft but because Flash runs on all my Macs! Two of them are still PowerMacs (very fast ones with large amounts of RAM and state of the art videocards. Do I need to say more...
And don't tell me to move on! I already bought 4 Intel Macs the last year and a half!!! Very expensive ones!!!
With regards.

We don't hate it, some of us can't install it even if we want to. There is also very serious doubt about future support since MS is a company known to apply "bait and switch" tricks to Mac users.They do it right now, MSN Messenger 7 latest version is broken with Safari 4 beta installed, they don't fix couple of lines and update it, for MONTHS.
About your language... Sorry if we don't care some NASA guy or private sector guy got bribed by Microsoft and used their technologies which aren't even fully supported on Linux/Solaris which are VERY important in scientific scene.
