Do I need Microsoft Silverlight

I keep it installed + updated in case I need it someday, but I always have Silverlight disabled in all browsers. Just like Flash.

It's still disabled after upgrade :)

This has been sitting here for as along as I can remember, it must overwrite itself judging by the date of release. I don't have any problems without it so I obviously don't use any services that require it to be installed, but at work the W7 PCs are getting the Silverlight pop-up all the time. I guess you don't have to install it if you don't need it, if you get the pop-up that tells you that you need it then install it.

Or, stop being as anal as me and just install it anyway, it won't hurt anything.

Quoting myself, just wanted to correct my mistake:

I have them hidden (just one entry in hidden updates screen) and don't get offered a new one.

This update is offered 7 times, and there are 7 entries in Hidden Updates window. Sorry for the confusion. :)

Yea that's why I don't bother hiding them and just leave it to collect dust like Boozad shows :)
