Yeah, its just another one of those web players - y'know like Flash, Java, Shockwave, Quicktime and DivX, if you never go to a website that uses it you will never need it but I'll be a pain if you suddenly need to use a site that does in a hurry.
I believe MS's own site are done in Silverlight more and more, so that's one reason
Another, question though, is what the heck is Adobe Air? yeah, another web player but why when they already have Flash and Shockwave? - What does it do that they don't?
