HD flash player sounds cool. I Hope many sites adopt this format. I love the d!vx web player from the reacently deseased stage6. I love HD content over the internet. We need more of it.

There is no doubt that Silverlight is gaining momentum. Of course Flash has many hearts and minds in its camp and it is very easy to bash Microsoft for trying anything new, but this is a worthy release.
To showcase Silverlight, Microsoft Australia are running an interesting campaign to demo MS Office 2007 and raise money for charity at the same time. Users watch a 30-second clip of Aussie kids explaining Office 2007, and Microsoft donates one Aussie dollar to a local charity, The Smith Family.
Some of the kids on the page have funny insights into "What is Microsoft?" and what else they learn at school. Make sure you ask Ethan "What is Microsoft?" for a laugh.
It's a well-polished Silverlight site for a good cause.
