Well CLR seems to be OK so I think this is down to the implementation rather than the concept.

- aidenn0 14y agoFewer browsers will run CLR code, so harder to do a drive-by.
- rhplus 14y agoThat's not true. All four major browsers can run CLR code through Silverlight [1] and depending on the statistics you use, the installation base for the plugin is in the same ballpark as Java, somewhere between 65% and 75% [2]. StatOwl even has Silverlight slightly ahead of Java at 69.7% vs 70.0% [3]. Of course, these are desktop stats. On mobile, it's a different story.
