Yeah, I've not had much luck with a lot of the Silverlight stuff either,
I just tried it. You know my specialties >.< I'm very particular about
my CPU cycles, I've killed over less!

I checked WineHQ for true Silverlight install and it seems that
Microsoft has the lowdown on detecting Wine so it won't even install.

I tried the game, the physics engine behind it is kind of bad. I mean
it's not horribly bad but you can tell the calculations are off quite a
bit sometimes.  I don't know when the last time I saw a ball get thrown,
bounce off a box, then bounce back and push a box off with full full force.
