Silverlight is Microsoft's alternative to Adobe's FlashPlayer. It's not used a lot yet, but as you see, sites that use it are emerging.

You can install it side-by-side with FlashPlayer without problems, so I'd get it. I think you'll like the video.
Best wishes,
Hans

Thanks to both of you. I wanted to make sure it wasn't going to create more issues than the video was worth. Being an afficionado of sandhill cranes, and having seen their dance "in person" I'd love seeing it so yes, I'll install it and report back!! :cheers:
