If it hadn't been Silverlight, someone would be saying "see, even Bill Gates doesn't think it's good!" Damned if you do, damned if you don't. I find this a really frustrating critique.

Not "Silverlight" is the problem, but "Silverlight exclusive". How hard would it have been to put up an alternative webpage with other formats for people which don't want or can't install Silverlight? The answer is certainly - not hard at all. Not doing so makes them just looks bad when they could have looked good so easily. edit: Hm, do you think that would be hard? We offer our videos in several formats and I know lots of other people doing that and I don't see the problem with that. Run it through a converter and add another link...

  You don't even need that. Silverlight 3 and Flash both support H.264+AAC in MP4.
