Scott Guthrie, GM of platform development at Microsoft, gave a talk targeted at developers here at the Mix 07 conference (which is, frankly, all targeted at developers). Here's the takeaway from his talk for Web users: HD-quality streaming video, as well as "DVD-like interactivity and overlays."

Guthrie quickly handed off his talk to Netflix for a demo we've been waiting for, by Neil Hunt of Netflix and Darin Brown of Avenue A/Razorfish. Check out the video:

You should offer the video using a silverlight-based player just in honor of the technology. :)

Completely off topic, I am using Firefox v2.0.0.4pre nightlies and Silverlight refuses to install.

Did you watch the video? Part of the Netflix demo was run on a Mac in FF?
