MLBtv.com Embraces Silverlight

MLBtv.com, which has always been an industry leader in subscription content on the internet (that which isn't porn) and it is interesting to note that their new media player for 2008 is designed using Microsoft Silverlight. Silverlight provides a flash compatible experience but leveraging windows media's VC-1 technology in addition to legacy WMV playback. Most importantly it is MAC and PC compliant and is really what pushed Flash to embrace H.264 over its own native encoding format.
