Every time the "install silverlight?"-prompt comes up, I consciously refuse it.
My reasoning goes like this:
1. It happens very rarely (less than once a month) and is usually triggered by some embedded eyecandy that I don't want to see anyways. I have not yet missed out on anything because I didn't have silverlight.
2. I have suffered through flash with all its browser-crashes, security problems and other annoyances for a decade. I strictly refuse to support the adoption a new plugin-technology that would only cause me more of the same pain.
3. Silverlight being a Microsoft technology, Microsoft being the company that makes my life miserable with MSIE, doesn't help my sympathy either.
Thus, I know I'm just one little datapoint in everyone's server-logs, but I take care to ensure this datapoint will always read "Silverlight not available".
