Silverlight's foot in the door - Version: 1.0b1, 5/28/2008 06:59AM PST

Microsoft knows the Times web site is among the most highly trafficked. A few large into a few pockets, and, lo- a reader designed only for this. Sad, tacky, under-handed. Typical.

First of all, the NY Times Marketing Department did not submit this beta listing to VersionTracker...I did.
As a long time subscriber to the NY Times, I have been using the Times Reader application in Windows via Boot Camp. While the Mac version is still not up to par with the Windows version, it is still a beta and one that's been in development for at least the past year. Microsoft has supported the development of this app, and it is a port from the Windows version which also uses Silverlight in lieu of Flash. I am happy to see it now available for the Mac and anticipate the app getting more refined in the near future.

The installer asks to download Silverlight. Silverlight for Macs? First, why? Second, how? Why is this application listed for Macs if it can't be installed? Am I missing some conspicuous step?
