Give it a shot, it might work

Some web sites, are very specific and annoyingly refuse if the browser is not exactly the one they tested with. So, good on ya, you optimistic Silverlight developers ! but next time you can try out our long running VM team phrasing - "totally bogus, never been tested, should work" as a positive alternative.
