The Silverlight team just announced that Silverlight now is supported within Windows Vista Media Center aswell. The first Media Center application made available by Silverlight is the NetFlix Movie rental service.
Tim Harader writes this in his blogpost:
From a consumer’s standpoint the best thing about this implementation is that you get the same great Silverlight-based adaptive streaming experience transparently protected by PlayReady DRM that Netflix offers from their website, but it’s integrated into the Windows Media Center experience. That means you can easily navigate to a variety of content from different providers without having to jump around to various websites. In Windows 7, it gets even better with the addition of a new EPG that integrates both TV programming and Internet content. This furthers Windows Media Center’s goal of being the best place to watch TV on the PC.
You can read the entire announcement on the Silverlight Team Blog.
