Silverlight version of Photosynth working in Chrome
I was surprised to see that Microsoft Photosynth Silverlight edition was working in Google’s Chrome browser today. It looks like Silverlight is shaping up to be an awesome universal application platform especially when it comes to video playback. The video playback seems to be hardware accelerated and Microsoft’s VC-1 (Windows Media 9 Advanced Profile) is already very CPU friendly compared to H.264 video compression. We’ve already had the 2008 Olympics and the Obama innauguration using Silverlight technology.
