The videos are up on the MS site, but they would not play on my PC. Maybe I should have tried it with my Mac, but lazy me, I found it on youtube. Search on Laptop Hunters.

I went to the Microsoft website this week for information. It turned out to be in a Silverlight video. Silverlight doesn't run on the Mac I was using. I didn't want to switch computers for a minor video, so I closed the window and went elsewhere. I can't go to YouTube to view an in-house MS video.

MS has cooperated with Flip4Mac to replace Windows Media Player, yet their Silverlight doesn't run. It's not universal like Flash or MPEG. What's the point of Silverlight? What kind of business model is that? Built-in failure or intimidation or just bad design?
