Can someone explain the benefits of MS Silverlight (both Pros and Cons)? Sorry to ask and I might be able to figure it out if I had time to open it up and see exactly each feature does, but just from opening the program up for the first time; I'm not sure that I need it or what it is for exactly? Thanks in advance for any insight someone can give me.

You need it if you want to go to web pages that use it. If you don't,

you don't need it.

As far as I'm concerned, you should have it, since it gives you the

ability to go to web pages you might want.

I really like Ken Blake's solutions.  They are practical and to the point ( for example:  Why do we need Silverlight?)  Whenever I log in, many other people have the same question as I.  If there's more clarity needed in order to answer adequately, Mr. Blake asks appropriate questions and delivers solutions in a respectful, non-condescending manner.  While many of us are fluent in other areas, we often feel lame in the quickly-changing language of computer technology.  I, for one, appreciate being treated like a human being with brains--however unattached they may seem to computer professionals at times! True professionals don't talk down to others.

Thank you, Mr. Blake; and we're grateful to others who do the same.  I will use this help often!

It deleted my Canon Image Class printer drivers.  If I delete the update, will my printers drivers come back?
