"And how the heck can you run C# on client side, don't you need .NET installed for that?"
First of Silverlight works on Firefox (I've used it...I don't know what your specific problem is). .NET doesn't run on the client side. Instead a plug-in (Active X for IE, Java applet for non Active-X browsers) interprets the XAML that is streamed from the server. It works on OS X, I don't know about Linux...but there is Moonlight for that. It's a plugin that you download like flash. If you don't have a problem downloading the flash plugin, I'm not sure why you would with Silverlight. I'm not telling you to jump on the Silverlight bandwagon. I'm just saying that the reasons that you have posted may not be sound.
