I've heard from quite a few people that have a fair amount of 
experience to never ever use Silverlining. Its kind of like the "Norton 
is Evil" thing - not everyone agrees, but the buzz just won't go away. 
Even though some people don't agree, when there's a contingent of 
experienced people out there who say "X utility is bad", I suspect it 
means something.
