Silverlight - very impressive image handling

I was really impressed by the demo of Silverlight at SXSW. Of course, being a Microsoft product, one is predisposed to dislike it, but it handled images beautifully. This hard rock cafe demo, shows off this image handling capability. You have to install the beta2 plugin - which is 4megs. With this size download, it's difficult to know if it's actually a usable product... i'll use it when the audience is there... Other than the adoption issue, it looks very promising. Good enough to sway me from Flash for some image heavy apps.
