With Mix '08 less than a week away and the release of Silverlight 2.0 staring us down I was really excited to see this post and video detailing MLB.com completely rebuilding their video streaming service using Silverlight 1.0. There is a great interview with MLB.com's lead developer and director of Product Development. I purchased this service last year and found that the service was restricted to use on Internet Explorer due to its dependency on ActiveX controls. Silverlight's cross-browser compatibility feature allowed them to overcome this restriction, while still maintaining an event-driven architecture in their streaming service.

I highly recommend taking a few minutes to watch the video if you are interested in learning about the power of Silverlight.
