Once you've installed Silverlight:

Check out the Fox Movie trailers:

Flash/Quicktime eat your heart out...

Seriously - check out the video size, resolution and quick-streaming... By far the best video experience yet (no more "small", "medium" or "high" downloads!).

just DL'd it OMFG amazing
Thanks RJ

I'm curious to see how dedicated MS will actually be to keeping this cross-browser/cross-platform. I think they are helping the Mono project in porting this over to Linux, but I'm still doubtful on if they will give it the support it needs.

I really wish MS would realize that their OS is not their "best product" anymore - Vista is a joke. But, realize that their strength are things like

- Office
- Visual Studio
- .NET / C#

I dont hate Microsoft, I just really dislike Windows (XP isnt too bad, Vista is just a fuckup), and wish that MS would make Linux versions of their stronger products. I like Office, I think Visual Studio is a great IDE to work in. the ASP.NET is great, the .NET platform as a whole is enjoyable to work with, C# is a strong language, and I gotta admit - Office is a solid suit, and Office 2007 made report-writing last year at school for me a much more enjoyable expierence.

Curious to see whats going to come from Silverlight - but still doubting how well (if at all) it'll be working under Linux/Unix.

THANK YOU KIND SIR!!!!

My computer is 7 yrs old, P3 733 with 384 Ram, and those vids still looked awesome!!! and streaming time was almost nil !!!

WHAT WHAT!!! everyone jump on the bandwagon !!!!!
