NBCOlympics.com is one of the most ambitious projects on the web and one of the largest Silverlight applications today.  Eric Schmidt takes us on a technical tour of how the site works and how it was built with Silverlight 2 and Windows Media.

The Olympics site is running on Beta 2, Silverlight has not fully RTM'd yet.

I am unable to view any videos on nbcolympics.com because my system is unsupported. I don't think that it was ready to be rolled out yet, especially for such an important event. I am not on old equipment, I just don't have a Windows operating system. The designer could have, at least have had a fall back option such as flash or any of the other well supported technologies. I would rate this project a failure because the technology that it rides on is not widely distributed nor fully supported.
