What's new in Silverlight 3

Well, read from people who made it :)

But it appears that some things are still missing, most important is authentication support when streaming from protected WMS publishing points.

Also, better integration with IIS authentication, using same security context, simplified - having single sign on, when web browser is authenticated against IIS, that Silverlight can use that context when dealing with WMS.

Well, maybe in Silverlight 4 :(

IIS Media Services

They dumped the old name, no more Media Pack.
But that's not really worth of blogging.

But this one IS!
Live Smooth Streaming

Can it be? Is it?
OH MY GOD, THEY DID IT :)

For now, it is not really clear is this true server side PVR or not.
But, this is start, they acknowledged the need, and trying to solve it.

Go go boys, you're on a winning strike with this one.
