A bit off-topic. If I understand it correctly the silverlight-plugin will be developed for Safari, Firefox and IE. Silverlight's video and audiostreams can be protected by DRM (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Rights_Management). This is a nice feature for contentproviders (and probably unwanted by "illegal content consumers"). Because DRM is built in the Windows Vista kernel this makes great sense to me. (According to a Dutch article on the net Adobe is working on "Media Player" also with DRM.)
If the technology is cheaper than FMS conentproviders like YouTube (and ofcourse MySpace) might switch to Silverlight. I think 2 players on this market is a good thing and will result in great products en competition. Lastly I'm quite interested in what's the opinion of the Red5-dev team about this (forever) ongoing development of mediastreaming players like Flash and Silverlight. In my opinion Adobe, Microsoft and "Codec companies" take the initiative and opensource-community (aka Red5) follows. In other words will the Red5-team deconstruct and inplement future codecs of the Flash player?
