Um, no, the information is NOT provided in the full text of the first
post to the thread:

My goodness... for someone who wants help, you sure seem to want people
to pull your teeth to get anything out of you. Now answer the question,
or just go away.

Thx.

There is now a Mac version of Microsoft Silverlight (see
www.versiontracker.com). Don't know if that will help in this case,
though.

I never spend any money on DRM protected content. I tried it a few
times and it was always a complete waste of money.

I'm not buying into the Blu-Ray scam until that one's cracked too. Its
DRM won't work with my older HD TV.

Such software would have to come from Microsoft, since Microsoft holds
the keys to their own DRM scheme.

Use Fusion <http://www.vmware.com/products/fusion/overview.html>,
Parallels <http://www.parallels.com/>, or VirtualBox (which is free!)
<http://www.virtualbox.org/> to run Windows on your Mac.

Blu-Ray (WTF is the 'e' in Blue? Gods I hate stupid
retard-marketing-speak brand names) was cracked ages ago in 2008 IIRC.

"coke back in Coke"? What's that mean? Not heard it before.

I remember it being reported on the TWiT podcast as soon as it happened.
Much light was made of it as you can imagine *shakes head at the MPAA's
foolish notion their DRM would stop pirates*
