How typically Microsoftian.

Now when you download and install Flip4Mac to play WMVs in Quicktime
Player, the package installs Silverlight by default. If you don't want
Silverlight (and I certainly don't) you have to customise the install to
remove it.

Explain some more? It's yet another media player as I understand it,
so why does it make any difference if you're not using it?

And to be fair to MS on this, Silverlight's been really good. The mac
implementation's fine as far as I can see. Better than flash.

That's not the point, though, is it? I ask for X to be installed, so the
installer installs X and then installs Y because it's really good.

It's not how I want software to work, thank you.

Perhaps it needs Silverlight for decoding a specific format? I don't
know, I had to use Silverlight when ITV used it and never removed the
plugin.
