Thx for making up a demo :)
I've been playing around with the Silverlight plugin too on other websites and have found that you can use UserJS to get the plugin to work, mainly by forcing the Sys.Silverlight.isInstalled and browserIsSupportedVersion functions to return true.
Not sure if you guys know but <param name="windowless" /> doesn't work with value="true", has to be set to value="false" to get anything to appear.
Using those two changes, I can get the clock at http://silverlight.net/samples/1.0/clock/default.html to render.

Will Opera be overriding the Silverlight.js file in future versions automatically?

BigBrownChunx: Hey I'm not sure if that issue is filed. Maybe you could file a bug report?https://bugs.opera.com/wizard/

Don't think we will need to do overriding. Microsoft wants this to work with Opera so I'm guessing it will be removed by them :-)

I't doesn't look like MS will address this bug.
Silverlight is now final, and even the 1.1 Alpha Refresh doesn't know about Opera...
Maybe the next Alpha of Kestrel could include a fix...
