Silverlight development?

[longcall911]

Is anyone here developing with Silverlight? I've been building a test site and really like the ease and speed of development but I have two concerns.

The first is finding a reliable hosting service that offers asp.net 4 with silverlight service. Second is that site visitors need to have silverlight installed and that seems to be a huge obstacle.

Are there workarounds or is it just too early to deploy silverlight?

I'm holding off using Silverlight (and I'm using Flash less now a days for my web designs) but to be fair, that's not based on solid research, I have no idea what the % number of people who have the Silverlight player installed in their browser.

I am also looking for the same issue of finding a hosting service for website using silverlight...and eager to know it as soon as possible...as using Silverlight is an amazing experience for me and I am really interested in making a live website using Silverlight...
