Hi Andrew,We are working on the S60 version of Silverlight, but don't have any specifics to say now about delivery timelines.

As we make some more progress, you can expect to hear more from us on this.

The democrats are using silverlight for their convention website and videos (along with move network). See: http://www.demconvention.com/

This clearly shows how fast and quick silverlight is appealing to everyone. Imagine they are trying to convey to millions of americans their message using silverlight and not flash.

Hi,

3 cheers for Silverlight Player. I think it misses one big functionality which flash player has....view the video in full screen mode.

I would love to see more websites using silverlight player.

Cheer and Namaste!

vattimo51, you can keep bringing up negative speculations. Ask what you can do for Silverlight (get involved, try it out), not what it can do for you (wait for it to take off first and then you get involved).

I am a very satisfied user of the nbcolympics website player in silverlight. In fact watched the entire Soccer and Basketball gold medal games without any glitches. Quality of the video was just amazing!

There are plenty of websites out there that are already using silverlight in its beta form. Go check out WWE, nba.com (when season starts - to watch the game highlights), memorabilia.hardrock.com, uvntv, several microsoft websites and many more.

So folks are excited about client-side scalability of less than one stream per unique user: 13.5 million video streams, 16.9 million unique users....

Of course, that's the worst case scenario (but that's all the info

Soma provided). wvaneck points out the ratio could be much better, but there's not enough information to say.

Soma/Microsoft needs to provide more information to excite us all about Silverlight -- and to convince us it is ready to take on the world!

Soma, is there any update on the availability of Silverlight on the Nokia s60 platform. Following the superb demo at Mix I have not seen any updates or roadmap?

As I live in the UK there is no access to the NBC coverage which is a pity as it would have been good to see Silverlight put through its paces.

I was forced to use Silver light because there is no other option. I donot like Silverlight and windows media player. Silverlight is disguised version of Windows media player. I do not want to load a beta product.

So, like windows at work, we are just forced to use silverlight. Good job.

I find it hard to judge video quality in a small window without full-screen. It is when you have the video full screen that all the problems become evident. From what I saw, there was no way to make it full screen. Also, it seems youtube allowed full screen video but kept people from the USA from accessing the sight. Not being able to see full-screen videos really hurt the perception of Silverlight vs Flash
