This comment is not on Steve Ballmer's keynote which was quite entertaining. Instead it is on the technical quality of the online presentations of the MIX08 sessions. It is quite disappointing to see the quality of Silverlight this year be far below that of Silverlight last year. In large part this is due to inferior design of the web pages. Someone was in love with their design concepts but did not have a clue on useability. Navigation among the sessions is poor. Navigation within a session is non existent. Dropping the video of the presenter may be an economy that has some justification even though it detracts from the quality of the experience. But dropping the ability to navigate between the individual slides of a presentation, really makes the presentations much less useable. Beyond these specific problems, there just appears to be a much higher frequency of glichs and intermittent failures than I have experienced in past online keynotes and presentations from Microsoft. If this quality is what NBC sees at the Olympics, you are going to have a very unhappy customer.

1.46pm - that was me :). W00t!

Also I agree with David. The sessions browser is really choppy and unresponsive, not a great experience at all. I expect the server hardware is high-end, and I'm running a high-end desktop PC, so it's not a good story for the software. And the Mix site could only be dealing with a fraction of the traffic the olympics site will deal with. NBC should be anxious.
