Silverlight works fine on Macs, and Moonlight (open-source collaboration between MS and Novell) is specifically written to function on Linux. You've got perfectly good technological neutrality here, if RAI's streams don't work with Moonlight, that's an artificial restriction being imposed by the TV station, and is not microsoft's or Silverlight's problem.
