Linux support for Silverlight is coming - the Mono team are working on the Moonlight project which will provide the same experience. I can't see CSPAN in the office, I can't choose which clips to watch when on the TV. So it's a great story for me. Works on Intel Macs, just not PPC ones.

If Move had not pursued getting such huge anchor customers early on they would never have seen the traction they have today. Same goes for flash ironically... Hulu asks you to upgrade to a new Flash player for their "HD" gallery. http://hmmconvenient.blogspot.com It’s a lesson for any company that develops technology backed by a plugin or rigid install progress… you have to put it in front of content that is compelling to the user so they accept the plug in.

This is the same hurdle we all face as new technologies are developed. The workflow is a bit obtuse now but as the two companies work together one plug-in will become palatable. It is worth noting that Flash Player 10 and others will also require yet another download and/or upgrade workflow. Doesn’t seem to be a huge deal breaker plenty of people are doing it…

Their product is straight up impressive, clearly best in breed, and I think people will continue to run the install to get access to their streams. Wow.

The video is spectacular - but the plugin thing is a deal-breaker. @emily – yes, in the future, Move will be part of Silverlight – but it is insane in 2008 to ask users to DL 2 plugins to watch video online – even if it is HD.

I got to sit next to a guy from the ABC (Australian broadcast commission). I asked him about iView (Local version of BBC iPlayer) and about the future of the ABC and video on the net. He dropped a bomb and said Silverlight. I blogged about it here.. http://www.crafted.com.au/blog/2008/08/21/abc-australias-public-broadcaster-goes-microsoft-silverlight/ It has more details of the event and who dropped this information. I personally think this is big news as we are not talking about companies connected in some way with Microsoft. We are talking about an independent and open TV broadcaster selecting Silverlight.

WTF?

If that isn’t “epic failure” for web development, I’m not sure what is.

The video quality is great and I like that you can pull up the schedule and do other things while still playing. It has multiple views too, cause you know we can't get enough views of politician greaseballs... haha Obama-Biden... git some! The video player seems to work pretty well.
