Silverlight was Microsoft's attempt at a Flash clone. For obvious reasons,
it never really caught on.
While I, personally, dislike Bing and would never use it, I support adding it
to the list of search engines, if only to make moving from Windows to
Linux with Trinity infinitesimally easier for some people.

What's Silverlight? I never heard of it. I just tested Bing in
Firefox, and it worked fine. The video previews in their video search
was a bit glitchy, but I was able to click the videos and watch them
normally. All their other search functions (web, images, maps, news,
and shopping) seemed to operate fine too. Although Bing is way to
flashy for me, and does not operate/organize itself in a way that I'd
consider using it, On 03/05/2012 09:45 PM, Kristopher Gamrat wrote:
I say we ignore it. Don't some of the features require Silverlight? At
one point they did. My vote is no. So far nobody's mentioned Bing. I know many
hard-core FOSS peoples
(myself included) would never touch it, but many new users might.
Good point...
