The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    It's Microsoft's cheap shot at flash but for now it's redundant.

    My problem with Silverlight is that I installed it, but any site that uses it wants me to install it again, no matter how many times I try. So, their loss.
