NBC Olympics on Silverlight 2

The Olympics start tomorrow and one of the things that DPE has been involved with that I am most proud of is the engagement we have driven with the product teams and NBC to provide https://www.nbcolympics.com/video/index.html on MSN, which is the official online home of the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing for the USA.

This could be the largest online broadcasting event in history, and the experience will be the best in history too, with HD content and collaboration brought through Microsoft Silverlight 2 and the back end Silverlight streaming services.

And guess what, its not on Flash.

Awesome job guys.

    Wait a tick. I thought Silverlight 2 was still in Beta. Have I been asleep. Does this mean Silverlight 2 has launched?

    I just tried to watch the replay of the US vs. Norway womens soccer match and the video was unbearably choppy. Both my computer and my Internet connection are above average and do fine with other streaming video.

    For people who are interested in the graphics capabilities of Silverlight, last week I bought the book "Microsoft Silverlight Graphics" (authored by Oswald Campesato).  I'm really hoping that he'll add more video streaming stuff, maybe in a second edition of his book.
