No need - you can use Moonlight.
However, due to the lack of any use of Silverlight anywhere, I've
never been able to fully work out how compatible Moonlight is. I only
chanced upon it when I wanted to use ITV Player under Linux, and back
in those days Moonlight didn't support video (think it does now
though) so it didn't solve my problem anyway.
Thankfully ITV ditched their Silverlight-based player, although there
was a very useful Firefox extension which would play the underlying
video file.
Given that even Microsoft have abandoned Silverlight this is purely
academic anyway.
