Apart from the bright sparkling Beijing sky this Olympics, 2008, there is a Silverlight to the Olympics thanks to Microsoft.
NBC (National Broadcasting Corporation) in collaboration with the Microsoft Silverlight technology has come up with the Olympics site - www.nbcolympics.com.
Silverlight technology is a cross-browser, cross-platform, and cross-device plug-in for delivering the next generation of .NET based media experiences and rich interactive applications for the Web. Also, Silverlight is competing with Adobe's Flash in providing an enhanced online experience for the viewers.
It is providing 3,000 hours of on-demand video and more than 2,200 hours of live coverage for the Olympics through the NBCOlympics.com site. The site is free to use with a custom NBC media player to watch multiple video streams at once, using picture-in-picture boxes. Silverlight works on both Apple Macs and Windows PCs and it uses an adaptive streaming technology.
Microsoft is adding its own Silverlining to the 2008 Beijing Olympics through NBC Olympics site.
