Bummer, stuff like the F Sharp Tutorial requires it.

I had disabled Silverlight in my web browser, and had to enable it to use the Try F Sharp tutorial.

These websites that use Silverlight have to be rewritten to use something else instead.

IE11 will be included with Windows 10 for the foreseeable future [1]. This should give site owners time to switch to HTML5.

I doubt that most people will close Edge to open IE 11 just so they can use Silverlight unless they absolutely have to.
