Well, during the weekend I added a small test to log how many visitors of my blog have installed the Silverlight plug-in already.

55% don't have the plug-in installed, 32% are using Silverlight 1.1 alpha (because of different build numbers some are put in the yellow parts of the pie chart) and 13% the current beta of Silverlight 1.0. I know that my blog is read more from developers as from common users, but I'm happy to see that it is available by nearly half of my visitors.

  why it is not served as ActiveX installation? I mean, simple click of dialog in the page. As we know, Flash does. It redirects to Silverlight homepage and somewhat makes user confusing.
