Is there a Microsoft Silverlight plugin for N900 ? I was trying to view hardrock cafe's memorabilia site and it asked me to install the plugin. When I tried installing it, it gave me an error saying this version of Linux is not compatible.

Silverlight is a proprietary Microsoft technology.
Therefore, if MS hasn't decided to bless your particular Operating System (in the case of the N900 it would be Maemo Linux) then you can't get it.
Flash is the same way only with Adobe instead of Microsoft. The difference here is that Adobe has so far been kind to Maemo.
You are much better off contacting the site owner and expressing your dismay at silverlight.
We do *not* need another proprietary content plugin in our browsers. Look how long it has taken Adobe to get flash across a reasonable spread of operating systems out there - and still not on iphone.
Moonlight works on some silverlight content - the older the better really, and linux support will always trail behind newer releases.
