What is hosting the Silverlight application when running out of browser? I can imagine on Windows it uses some very thin IE host but what is it actually running for Windows and Mac machines?

+1  A: 

Aside from hosting in a browser control or window, there's a COM API for hosting the Silverlight control, or you could use the browser plugin APIs as well. I'm not positive on which one the is used for either the Windows or Mac implementations.
