Silverlight 3 and Expression 3 announcement roundup
So, Silverlight 3 was released today, and the Expression Studio is available in a public release candidate, including the awesome Expression Encoder 2.

And I had this interview on Streaming Media about the new media features:

We're doing these roughly once a month, mainly driven by questions from the Streaming Media forums or send directly to Troy.
As Troy alwasy ends the interviews:

My Michael Jackson Player
The default player is only embedding at 848x wide. So I'll see if I've go the HTML-fu to embed big enough to get the full 1280x720.

Michael Jackson Memorial in live HD Smooth Streaming July 7th 10am PDT
Just got some news: tomorrow's Michael Jackson memorial is going to be broadcast live in 720p Smooth Streaming by Sympatico / MSN inMusic. The feed is originating from Canada, but is not georestricted! I think this is the first globally available Live HD Smooth Streaming event.
The event kicks off at 10am Pacific Daylight Time (GMT -8). It will hopefully be up as on-demand for 24 hours after, but we're still confirming the rights for that.
Check back tomorrow AM for any updates.
P.S. The Tour de France is also doing Live HD Smooth Streaming, following the success of the French Open. It's georestricted to France, alas.
