Silverlight 2, Beta 2 and the 2008 Olympics

  • Article

Some time ago I wrote a post about the announced Silverlight 2 product.

While I received a number of favorable comments, I also received some skepticism. We have been working hard on delivering on our goals in the form of providing an amazing media experience for the 2008 Olympics. Here is a link to the NBC Olympic site where you can see the implementation of Silverlight 2, Beta2.

I found the web site (https://www.nbcolympics.com/video) experience to be incredible! I only wish I had the equivalent on my TV.

I hope those who were skeptical, now feel more confident in our delivery. Yep, it's still a Beta (2) but running the Olympics on our breadth of technology should give you a higher level of confidence. Enjoy.

    Thanks "some one" for the clarification. My intent was not to insinuate that the entire site was built on Silverlight technology. I have changed my links to go directly to the video content which utilizes SL.
