#2The Olympics should be as open as possible. There has to be some sort of monetary deal between Microsoft and NBC. This really could have been a great time to push HTML5.

#3I saw the same message when attempting to view a video on NBC's Olympics site. After grudgingly installing Silverlight I was still unable to watch anything. The videos require Silverlight 2 or 3, neither of which is supported on a PowerPC mac.

I don't understand why they are trying to push 2 proprietary formats on us. You think they would at least try to stick with just one if they weren't going to go with HTML5.

The Olympics is one big commercial venture, and has been for some time: http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/markets/article-23807728-why-p...
Not to say that it /shouldn't/ be as open as possible, just that it isn't.

#9Adobe's inability to write code that lasts more than a month between exploits makes me more than happy to use Silverlight for streaming media.

#10Smooth Streaming...seriously, I have never met a single objective person who did not recognize the Silverlight HD streaming solution to be superior to Flash. I will take quality over adoption of an unfinished HTML spec.
