Virtual DVDs launched!
In September, we announced a collaboration between Microsoft and Tesco in terms of using Silverlight to deliver home video, which will allow customers to create a new generation of entertainment services. Tesco customers who have previously bought DVD or Blu-ray media from them will now be able to download virtual Silverlight versions of the same films with the same content that was on physical media.
Today, customers can appreciate the benefits of this partnership and technology from two major films of 2009: “Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince” and “The Hangover”, which are available on DVD. Tesco delivers an exclusive Virtual DVD bonus to its UK customers when purchasing physical media with a movie. Using Silverlight 3, Virtual DVD applications offer users exactly the same features as regular DVD players, including transitioning in parts, bonus features, multi-language support and subtitles.

PS from the translator: it looks like the end of disk drives is approaching more and more rapidly, and with the help of Virtual DVD it will be painless for most ordinary people.
