i dont personall have anything against windows ..its just annoying to have to reboot to windows just to download c9 videos since silverlight doest work in linux and i can stream c9 videos ..

I reckon RC0 actually makes sense to developers and is correct. The reason why is, when you learn iteration/recursion in 'for' loops, you soo find out that Zero is a number, and as far as the computer is concerened Zero is actually the first number. The same can be said about array indexes where Zero is always the first item in the array.

Must be some pedant in the SQL Server team.

Personally I thought it was rather cleaver of the SQL Team to use RC0, I like it. Wink

Hmmm... the download links shouldn't have anything to do with Silverlight at all... Are they still not working for you because they should be literally the same in Windows as in Linux and should work in all browsers the same.

mtz

it still doesnt work with all the browsers i have mentioned above .... "comment on the post" also doesnt work ...i wanted to write this on firefox 2.0.0.14 and the link didnt work ..tried with firefox 3rc3 and the link just looked at me when i clicked it..both under linux ..i am writing this on TE7 on XP ...

somebody could try to load a linux live cd and see how this site perform on linux browsers ..i have so far seen two links that doesnt work ...there could be others ..

this being a microsoft site, i guess i should expect somebody saying something negative about trying to access it using a non microsoft browser and os ..just wish to say "its the web, the site should be browser, OS independent" ..

Try MoonLight for linux silverlight support. http://www.mono-project.com/Moonlight

The download links work for me in FF 2.0 for me. While under Vista, FF is platform agnostic. The download link itself just has some javascript to hide a div. The rest are just standard HREF links.
