The perfect combination of corrupt entities: MSNBC, Microsoft, government of
China and the Olympic Games. The Silverlight infection is nothing compared to
drug abuse which turned the Olympics into the mockery that it is. Maybe
Microsoft should look more closely at NASCAR again [1]. Remember their
affairs/flirt with Jackass [2]? That's one of the first movies that was
Silverlight-only. They are all jackasses.

increase market share
