Make your streaming video’s bases solely on the browser and you will have my attention. Why would I have to watch it online on my personal computer at home when I can switch on the tv. I am obviously at work or away from my home in this circumstance and cannot download application software.

CBS is playing it safe and not adopting Silverlight. But fortune favours the brave.

We’ve using NFL’s new Silverlight player and it’s noticeably better than Flash, as the editor of Macworld magazine said:-

No wonder they saw such a big increase in traffic:

Unfortunately, often those arguing the business case have more clout than those arguing the technical case. Surely CBS is missing an opportunity to take advantage of technological advancement, for the sake of a trivial impact on user experience? At worst, all the user needs to do is click on an “install Silverlight” button on the page.

I think it’s right to place user experience at the very top of the agenda, but wrong to obsess over it to such an extent that trivial UED arguments override significant arguments about technology, innovation and features.
