How Widespread is Silverlight in the Corporate World?

Question

Hi,

I would like to develop an application using Silverlight. As this application is used to give demos to delegates on their corporate networks, I would like to know how widespread Silverlight is?

Could anyone please let me know the coverage of Silverlight in the corporate world?

Thanks, Mahesh

Answer 1

There is really no way to know without someone taking a manual survey, as Corporate traffic is not separated from overall web traffic (how would you identify it?).

The current figure for Silverlight in overall browser use it around 60%, but due to security requirements, IT update procedures etc, it may well be closer to either 100% or 0% at specific companies.

I think you can assume it would be installed if a specific business need arises. Best for you to speak to the specific companies you are targetting :)
