Today, Microsoft.com put a Silverlight enabled video of XBox 360 Elite on the site front page.
This must be one of the earliest technology adoptions for Microsoft.com. They host a 1.0 beta version of the Silverlight app and it got me thinking why would a high traffic site want to do this.
My conclusion?

Admittedly, installing the runtime is quick, painless and benign for your machine. As it should be.
Try it out. Then visit some sample galleries.
