Silverlight on Chromebook

In spite of being a dead-end technology, there are a couple of apps built using Microsoft Silverlight that I have to use. I'm mostly migrated to using a Chromebook full-time, but these couple of apps are keeping me from going because Silverlight is for Windows or Mac.

What can I do to use these apps with my Chromebook?

Sucky solution, but there you are.

You can try IEOnChrome, an extension that emulates IE within Chrome, including Silverlight.

You can try to get Pipelight installed on your Chromebook. Probably requires some hacking, but very well worth a try. Works fine for me on Fedora and Ubuntu:
