Not a smart move by NBC

To trust the online olympic coverage to silverlight is like banking with a 2 year old child. Silverlight is in it's infancy. The decision to just throw it to the wolves and have the olympics be the first real world test is a horrible decision. We are talking about Microsoft software after all... The bandwidth that will be consumed for the olympics is going to be global and massive... Will silverlight stand the test??? Browser compatibility, language support??? This is a massive failure waiting to happen. When I look into my crystal ball I see bugs, glitches, hacking, and massive outages. Way to go NBC!!!

"Microsoft is a "holistic partner", being able to offer its services as a "media and technology company, not just a technology partner"."

ROTFLMAO!!!!!

When it comes to media, Microsoft can be viewed more as a "holocaustic partner", being able to ensure the genocide of media... LOL

Calling doom on this one is a no brainer.
