Btw, why are some websites choosing to use proprietary Microsoft
technology, namely silverlight? Didn't the world learn anything from
the IE-only-webpages fiasco?

  The most obnoxious infringer is the Webby Awards website:
http://www.webbyawards.com/

  According to them, "the Webby Awards is the leading international
award honoring excellence on the Internet. Established in 1996 during
the Web's infancy, the Webbys are presented by The International
Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences, a 550-member body of leading Web
experts, business figures, luminaries, visionaries and creative
celebrities."

  If they are honoring excellence on the internet, and the internet ought
to be rather system-agnostic, why are they so tied up with proprietary
Microsoft technology? Why is some of their content only available to
people using a certain OS? Haven't they learned anything from the IE
fiasco? Making webpages for one single software is *not* the way to go.
