Not sure if Silverlight ruined it but if you take a look at these stats it seems those sites that used Flash did better no matter what type of Olympic videos they had…

Will Microsoft really be the winner when the other sites realize that NBC would have had more users and more revenue if they hadn't used Silverlight? Mike's last blog post..Who Does Your Theme Site Link To

The big winner? Microsoft who I’m sure loved getting Silverlight in front of a bunch of Flash users.

Yes if they would have added any alternative from silverlight then they would have 10 times more Viewers for their Live Streaming. Haroon Hameed's last blog post..Are you People Hungry for Traffic Results?? Join BootScootin'Traffic Today!

Obvious to everyone above requiring Microsoft’s Silverlight was the biggest mistake. I would be willing to guess they could have doubled or triple the revenue if it wasnt for that. Jaan Kanellis's last blog post..Search Marketing Standard Acquired by iNET Interactive

I ignored the whole downloading Silverlight thing. I don't want to download something just to watch a few Olympics events on my computer. I just didn't seem worth the effort. My little Asus EeePC is the only computer I would have considered watching the videos on and I don't think Silverlight officially runs on Linux.
