MLB.com goes back to Adobe Flash
MLB.com has announced that they are switching from Microsoft Silverlight to Adobe Flash.
Microsoft often highlighted Major League Baseball’s online unit as one of their biggest customers of Silverlight.
MLB Advanced Media would now be using Adobe Flash technology for their live and on-demand video starting next year.
Microsoft Vice President Scott Guthrie had this to say about the new developments: “Microsoft has appreciated the partnership of MLB.com. Microsoft continues to be very pleased with the success of Silverlight. We have a great ecosystem that includes more than 150 partners.”
Bob Bowman, president and CEO of MLBAM had this to say: “Flash provides a TV-like experience. You turn it on and it works. We want it to be flexible so we can add features…and it’s got to be scalable. We are the largest server of live entertainment in the country. Whether we are serving 20,000 for one game or 250,000 for another game, it’s got to be scalable over periods of time like nothing else.”
Microsoft Silverlight 3 is scheduled to come out next year.
