Comment Feed for Channel 9 - NBCOlympics.com Update http://ecn.channel9.msdn.com/o9/previewImages/100/422365_100x75.jpg Channel 9 - NBCOlympics.com Update Eric Schmidt drops by to tell stories about the NBCOlympics.com site launch and answer a few questions from the viewers. Why is it US Only? Where is the FullScreen mode? How does the streaming work? Why choose to run on a beta? Will we see the same coverage in upcoming Olympics? en Tue, 21 May 2013 17:53:27 GMT Tue, 21 May 2013 17:53:27 GMT Rev9 Re: NBCOlympics.com Update
An observation about the Silverlight plugin...anything that requires the user to "install a viewer" is bad these days, because that's exactly the terminology the bad guys use to convince unknowledgable users to run their "Paris Hilton Viewer", or whatever.  Now that some millions of users have a beta version of Silverlight installed, how about maintaining the plugin(s) over Windows Update?  This would be better than running into sites where "you need to install a newer version of Silverlight to view this content" and training them to click on every banner requesting a newer version of Silverlight.     The next thing we'll see is malware spewing spam sites requiring an "upgraded Silverlight" plugin to view the "Breaking MSNBC news".

We are going to do a post-mortem of sorts at the PDC and will definitely air some of the problems & challenges.  We will post that content as well on C9.

As for the Apple question, I am not sure - you'd have to ask Adam.  He seemed to be drawing all kinds of pictures Smiley

It was too dumb to make the cut, but the topic was covered whether he was eating well or getting any sleep.  With the size of the project, working with many teams around the world and so many events going on, its easy to get out of whack.  Anyways, even though it wasn't used I still thought it should make it into the photo.

Glad you like the video Al, I'm looking forward to the "What we learned" information myself Smiley

MSNBC, I think is also using Silverlight and watching videos there is a much enjoyable experience, compare to Yahoo TV Sad

I thought NBC Olympics would be somewhat in the same "user richn" category as MSNBC.

I'm pretty sure it's unique to 2008 since I had no problem under Server 2003 R2 64.

Any suggestion?

Someone posted detailed steps how to tweak it at "SilverLight.net" forum. Nothing major, just some security settings unique to Vista/2008. I guess I'm still new to it.

NBCOlympics.com, here I come.
