Microsoft released Silverlight 1.0 tonight and the big news is that it supports Linux. Nice job, Microsoft. But lame job at making it easy to install. I’ve tried installing Silverlight three times from this link without any luck. Silverlight says it has been installed and I should restart my browser. So restart and then go back to the same link and am told I need to install it again. Very very lame experience. Adobe has nothing to worry about if Silverlight is such a pain to install.
Here is the screen I’m presented with even though Silverlight tells me it’s been installed properly.

Did you have a prevous version of Silverlight on your machine?
If you had one from MIX ’07 you may have to restart your machine.

hmmm it installed fine for me and I didn’t have to restart my browser. But I’m still running Vista so maybe the experience is a little different.
