Used it at new MS Download Center Beta .

Only advantage it has right now is that it has a hell lot better performance than Flash . Flash movie playback almost takes 100% on my CPU but in MS Download page , Full Silverlight page with all animations was taking like 13% cpu.

+1. Flash takes almost 90% cpu time, SL takes about 60% :)
