I was very disappointed to see this when I went to the NBC Olympics website. Companies still focus only on Windows and Mac. I was wondering if I could use Wine. When using Windows, the website requires Silverlight 2.0 (beta?). The executable is Silverlight.2.0.exe, but I thought Silverlight is still in beta. A search on Wine AppDB reveals that Wine doesn’t support Silverlight.

A Python script and a decent media player is all it takes to get around NBC’s website’s obfuscation and catch some live video goodness. Check out this Ubuntu Forums thread, from page 3 and on:
