Does anyone know if silverlight plugs into chrome, or when they plan to support it?

This guy have had partial success with silverlight in chrome, but it does not seem to be supported:

From The Microsoft Silverlight Team in the silverlight forum:

Hello, currently we don't have plans to support Chrome. We will support it in the future if it gains enough market share. Please understand, each browser implements the plug-in model differently, so it'll be a lot of effort to officially support a browser 100%... By the way, IE 8 also runs each tab in its own process. If a tab crashes, other tabs will still work fine.

UPDATE:

Jon Galloway has just posted instructions on how to get silverlight successfully running on Chrome here:

The official word on what is supported looks like this:

The reality is that we do run on a lot of browsers, but things change might quickly in these here parts.
