I remember that. It also used Microsoft Silverlight to run the player which was weird.

    It looks like it says iPad in the upper right. iPad never used Silverlight, it had an iOS app from launch, but you're right in general. PC browsers used WMV for a brief while at the launch of streaming and then switched to Silverlight.
