It seemed to work pretty well on my Ubuntu system without having Silverlight installed. But there was a little notification that said documents would load faster if it was installed. I'm always up for a good laugh and was wondering how I would run that Silverlight .exe file on Linux. Well lo and behold there is "Moonlight" which is available as a Firefox plugin that I'm guessing is a way to allow Silverlight apps to work in Linux. Well now that I installed it and restarted my browser, I can't open up any of the Word docs now. Oh well, guess it's back to running Word in XP in a VirtualBox window.
