Why don't Beta 2 sites work on RC0(blogs.msdn.com)

I've been getting a lot of questions and confusion around why you get the following strange behavior. "I've installed the RC0 developer runtime, and whenever I hit a Beta 2 site, I get the 'install badge' instead of my site. If I click this badge to install I can't because I'm told I already have a newer version. What gives?" When the browser sees an <OBJECT> tag, it looks at the type parameter to see what it should use to render the object. Silverlight Beta 2 uses the following: type="application/x-silverlight-2-b2" , Silverlight RC0 (and later RTW) uses the following: type="application/x-silverlight-2"
