  It should be noted that it also requires a Silverlight download – much like the streaming of Obama’s address on the official inauguration website. Between the two, it’s likely that Microsoft got Silverlight installed on thousands if not millions of more machines today - personally the download link didn’t even work for 20-30 minutes.

  Okay, I have to admit that Microsoft got something right with this one. This is pretty amazing! Pan, zoom, scroll, etc. around "the moment" Obama was inaugurated today through user-contributed photos pieced together to create a seamless 3D image.

  • If you’ve been watching CNN’s coverage of Inauguration Day, one piece of technology that you might have noticed was Microsoft Photosynth, which allows you to navigate a collection of photos in 3D. To make it work, CNN asked users to submit photos of “the moment,” when Barack Obama was sworn in as President.
