   Well, yeah, true, but then again, on the other hand: ;-)

   (Big groups like corporations are made up of lots of little groups, changing over time, each facing different factors in their decentralized decisionmaking... it's messy like an organism, not clean and consistent like a machine.)
   
   Although... you know what's cute? Their markup specifies a version 3.0 Player or better.... ;-)
   
   (Do you recognize their FSCommand work?)

   John,
   
   In this case though I am not sure they could deliver this any other way than by using Adobe Flash Player and FLV.
   
   Hats off the to team that made this site, A+!
   
   cheers,
   
   Ted :)

   I'm pretty sure that's a Blitz Digital Studios creation. They do good work.

   The real question Ted, is whether they are going to use Flash for their YouTube competitor :).

   The sad truth is that most people assume that anything "flashy" on Microsoft's website is using Silverlight. It happens at work all the time.

   It seems as though Microsoft isn't really using Silverlight for everything because of penetration. Flash 9 has something like 98% whereas Silverlight has to be < 5% or so. Im sure they still want to reach as many people as possible and Flash is the way to do it. Not to mention the fact that it blows SL out of the water.
