NBC dumps Microsoft Silverlight after Olympics | |
|
||
| Time: 06:47 EST/11:47 GMT | News Source: Valleywag | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum | ||

NBC streamed all its NBCOlympics.com videos using Microsoft's Silverlight backend tech, but the network dumped Microsoft before last night's NFL kickoff — streamed live over NBCSports.com and NFL.com — opting to use Adobe Flash instead. Why? Because, as SAI notes, while 40 million US visitors to NBCOlympics.com didn't have Silverlight installed, Adobe Flash is already installed on some 98 percent of Internet-connected computers. NBC's move didn't pay off last night. The feed was unwatchable over a broadband connection, serving up freeze fames, blurry action and skipping back and forth as the it tried to buffer. | ||

Microsoft Silverlight Version 2.0 Beta 2 was awesome. I streamed the Olympics to my 42" plasma screen and it was terrific quality.
By the way, 90% of the computers across the planet do have Silverlight 1.0; they didn't have the latest verision. So, if your computer didn't have it installed, you had to first download it to view the content on NBC. Microsoft ought to RTM version 2.0 soon. |
