Silverlight player detection script bug

My last post was about how I doubt Microsoft’s cross platform commitment with silverlight since I see the player behaving differently on different platforms even on a page that’s supposed to be the face of the technology … today i had a different experience with the same page i.e Silverlight.net Showcase Page.

This time the page told me that I do not have Silverlight 1.0 when I actually have the latest Silverlight 2.0 player installed, I clicked on the the “Get Silverlight” button and then it tells me that I already have Silverlight 2.0 (as if i didn’t know that already) .. I hit the back button to go back to the showcase page and then I get the earlier exception again.

Silverlight.net is the home of silverlight technology on the web … Microsoft, you better fix these problems other wise its hard for us Mac users to believe your cross platform commitment.

Here are screenshots of what happened (Click on any of the images to enlarge)
