Google Chrome and Silverlight

Anyone who has installed Google Chrome and tried to view a page with Silverlight content has probably seen that it doesn't work too well. The control refresh is choppy or doesn't work at all, or only work if you move the browser window around.

Microsoft's official stance is that they don't officially support beta browsers with Silverlight (Firefox 3 had issues when it was in beta). What's concerning is that given Google's track record, Chrome may be in "beta" for years. Google uses the "beta" term to make users more forgiving of the warts and other issues with their offerings until they're completely rock solid.

I was worried that this may set up a bunch of finger pointing between MS and Google about whose issue it is, and no progress would be made, but it seems that a fix has been checked in to Chrome for the issues Silverlight was having with it. You can see the check-in details here:

So hopefully we'll see a new release of Chrome soon that has this fix in it.
