Comment Re:Netflix (Score 1) 324

Flash supports hardware accelerated video, while Silverlight does not (at least not with Netflix). So Flash's performance is better for the one useful things that uses Silverlight. Silverlight 5 is supposed to have hardware accelerated video, but it doesn't work by default. Anyone know of any workarounds?

Comment Re:Forget versions if you're pumping them out this (Score 1) 495

Chrome has a similar bug (at least I've experienced it in the dev version, possibly the beta version as well). Chrome was claiming my browser was at the latest version, despite being months out of date.
I can't seem to find a page that lists the latest version of Chrome, so I have no idea if my browser is up to date now or not. Does one exist?

I'm guessing Microsoft does something like for their IPTV platform (used in U-Verse in the US). You receive a unicast stream until the multicast stream is joined (and presumably another keyframe reached). Although this isn't always seamless and you can't rewind to what you received in the unicast stream.
