After being pretty disappointed in the coverage that NBC had for the Olympics (Silverlight was pretty cool, the coverage provided by NBC was terrible), I thought I would check out the Democratic National Convention online with Silverlight.
I have a Media Center PC as my main television, so it was pretty easy to load up the site. I was pretty blown away at how cool the interface was for the player. I could easily switch camera angles, change the language, and choose other videos on the demand. While I switched back and forth on camera angles, the voice didn’t skip a beat!
The stream was also flawless and in full HD quality. I actually switched to my television to see the quality of the satellite signal (Non HD Receiver) and it was 10 times worse. Anyway, feel free to check it out the Democratic National Convention on Silverlight for yourself!


Vista has gotten ridiculous amounts of bad press, although the press releases pretty much sound like when XP first came out. It’s funny as more and more people actually start upgrading to Vista, you start hearing comments like “Vista isn’t that bad eh? I actually really like it! It’s pretty fast and looks awesome. I love the instant search!”.
