Details

http://www.microsoft.com/Silverlight/ offers to download version 2.0b of the plugin.

All versions of Camino (1.6.1 and nightly builds of Camino 2.0) and Minefield builds redirect to
http://www.microsoft.com/Silverlight/resources/install.aspx?v=2.0#sysreq
without a link to download the plugin.
This also applies to WebKit nightly builds and Opera 9.5b.

Safari 3.1.1, Firefox 2 and Firefox 3rc2 go the download location.

----
Once the plugin is successfully installed, http://www.microsoft.com/Silverlight/ still fails to detect the presence of the Silverlight plugin.

"Silverlight home page
You are running on a browser that may not be fully compatible with Microsoft Silverlight. You can still try to install by clicking below or you can refer to the System Requirements for more information.

So you can still download.. I think the warning doesn't matter much.
