did popfly have a lot of active users? i thought it was a nice demonstration of what silverlight can do, but there's not a whole lot of utility with it. better to spend more resources on other products/services.

expression web superpreview is very slick stuff. wish the download could have been smaller (although 250mb nowadays is considered the "average" size for a dev tool).

@paperlock, this is currently a developer beta so I wouldn't expect move to incorporate SL3 into WL at the moment. Live Video Messages runs well with SL 2.0 as it is. Personally, I'd like to see the LVM team work on integrating this into Live Mail instead of running as separate service or at least compose/send video messages from with Live Mail. Btw, Scott Guthrie has said that they are planning WebCam/Audio support after SilverLight 3.0 is released later this year. So I can imagine a day when you won't have to install a separate LVM capture plug-in. Finally, I'm not sure what is going on with Popfly altogether..rumors have it that team had been severely impacted by January's layoffs. All in all, Silverlight 3.0 is pretty amazing stuff. I'm sinking my teeth into the SDK now.
