    I watched that video over lunch. It was by far the worst Channel9 video I've ever seen.

    Timeline:

    0-5:30 - Talk about why HTML can't do enough

    5:30-11:30 - Talk about what an object and embed tag are and why they enabled WPF/E

    11:30-20:00 - Repeatedly go over how to embed a WPF object in an HTML document

    20:00-30:00 - Show samples that are really just WPF-showoffs

    30:00-32:00 - Show media player sample

    Seriously, all they had to do was say "we have a plugin for IE and Firefox that allow you to embed a WPF application in a web page, and it can be scripted against". I really thought I was going to get useful content...

    Sorry you didn't like it.  I'm sure this was a more general video since it was the first one of many and they can't assume every developer knows as much as you.  ;)  And it's not just a WPF application in a web page.  There are differences.  There will be many more videos (3 or 4 more I believe) coming soon that will go more in depth.  Check back.  Also, you might want to leave comments on that video instead of here.
