There is a cool preview download centre up that uses Silverlight:

First glances it has:

  • Menu in top right written in Silverlight
  • The Popular and New Downloads tables are Silverlight
  • The Browse Downloads is definitely the best use with a cool interaction when moving through the alphabet

Does seem very slow but that is probably because it is in Preview and not on full hosting infrastructure (guessing that anyway)
