title: Do users have problems adopting Silverlight?
body: <p>My group is thinking about switching our platform for web UI from ASP.net to Silverlight for several reasons. To be clear, these are business websites that provide a service to our users, we develop and host them ourselves.</p>
  
  <p>Has anyone switched their business / intranet web site from a traditional server-based web technology such as ASP.net to Silverlight? Or have you added Silverlight to your website? If so...</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Have your users complained or resisted installing Silverlight?</li>
  <li>Have any significant number of users been unable to install Silverlight?</li>
  <li>Have they commented on the look or responsiveness of Silverlight UI?</li>
  <li>What other comments have they had?</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p><strong>In short, are my web site's users gonna freak if I start using Silverlight on my page?</strong>
  <br/>
  If your answer is "It depends" then please give an idea of what the determining factors are. </p>
  
  <p>As an aside, is there an easy way to detect how many of your users install / have already installed Silverlight?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Edit:</strong><br/>
  Thanks for the answers so far! I may be reaching, but has anyone yet had concrete experience with deploying a Silverlight app?  I was wondering if anyone had gone through this and if their users had any major issues.</p>
