Think 'Flash by Microsoft'. I don't know why they bother. The day of the proprietary file format is doomed, I say!

Well yes and no. It is also an app for doing other things beside video.

You must admit it blows all others out of the water as far as video is concerned.

"by clicking download you are accepting the user licensing agreement."...

Silverlight is Microsofts answer to Flash and supports AJAX, VB, C#, Python, and Ruby, etc.

Another good demo is Microsofts search engine Tafiti,

Quote:
What is Tafiti?
Tafiti, which means "do research" in Swahili, is an experimental search front-end from Microsoft, designed to help people use the Web for research projects that span multiple search queries and sessions by helping visualize, store, and share research results. Tafiti uses both Microsoft Silverlight and Live Search to explore the intersection of richer experiences on the Web and the increasing specialization of search.

I've come to understand that 'rich user experience' means 'bloated page that just won't download in Thailand' :)
