Instead of waiting for it to download, I can stream it and start listening to it immediately.

Also, if it’s a short podcast I’ll typically stream it instead of downloading it. Particularly video podcasts. Why bother downloading something you plan to consume immediately and then have to delete?

Maybe you should use something like bit.ly or tinyurl. More reliable.

Of course Flash is going to suffer since it was the 99.9% marketshare leader and is being attacked from all angles.

If Silverlight isn’t on an upward swing then Microsoft might as well quit now.
