Anyone watching the Olympics online?

I am watching USA basketball and I have to say that the video sucks. I am not talking about the quality of the video rather I am talking about the constant commercials during game action and the buffering screen that keeps popping up. NBC still has a ways to go before they have something that works properly.

I tried to go on and show Jackson the video of the 4x100 relay, but I don't have Vista or XP, so I think they suck for not specifically asking me what OS I run before putting out the videos.

What OS do you have? I had to download some MS software to watch any of the video.

You need silverlight to be able to watch the olympics online. It should prompt you saying that you need the application installed. If Jansenfan is running a mac then he may be out of luck.

I have a mac and it works fine. I don't think Silverlight is available for Linux, though.

I run Win2000. Each release of windows sucks just a little bit more than its predecessors, and I refuse to upgrade 'til I can afford a mac.
