We had an interesting issue that has recently been occuring with folks using Google Chrome browser. When one of our applications that relies on Microsoft Silverlight was accessed, it kept asking for installation of Silverlight. I found this article, thought it was interesting, and worth sharing.

SFC Charles S. for most things you are absolutely right. Silverlight is not required. Most sites are going to HTML 5 anyway so it is redundant. Unfortunately for me, I still have some sites that will not function without silverlight, and so it is problematic.

Yeah, If you have an application that requires it you are kind of stuck, does the application company have any workarounds, most companies have figured out the issues but haven't updated their software yet. Might be worth a call to the App Support line.

I stopped you windows after XP and gave up on internet explorer as well. I use Safari and went straight Mac. I haven't looked back since. I do have windows 8.1 on my work computer and hat it. It is a system that was designed for mobile devises not desktops. Having a touch screen laptop is just ridiculous.

SFC Steven Borders What I do when helping to optimize the windows interface is unpin all of the tiles from the start menu except the desktop. Then I add Only the MS Office tiles back. That way it clears all of the garbage out of the way. I think Windows 8 was Microsoft's way of proving everyone who said nothing could be worse than Vista wrong.
