Yeah, I kinda figured that was obvious, which is why I asked the
question.

For some reason, the powers that be support BSD (MacOS) but not other
*nix systems.

You do mean without turning on my Windows machine? :-) :-)

I set Konqueror to tell that site I was using Internet Explorer 6 on
WinXP, but it wanted my to install MS Silverlight.

I set Konqueror to tell that site I was using Safari 2 on OSX, but it
knew I was lying and just gave that error message again.

NBC is run by MSN so not just the Olympics but all of their streaming
video does not work with Linux. I think the site checks to see the
operating system, ie, M$ or Apple which has license agreement with M$.
