I suggest checking out the following link which is a Q&A from Microsoft.

It is compatible with all major browsers but a the silverlight plug-in does need to be installed. Which comes default now with windows updates. Although Sliverlight runs in a asp.net site, I would think it would be beneficial to learn Silverlight before starting your asp.net site.
