One of the coolest thing I saw at MIX was a useful example of Silverlight's Deep Zoom technology on Hard Rock's Memorabilia site: http://memorabilia.hardrock.com/ (http://memorabilia.hardrock.com/)

You can see a demo video of this: http://www.visitmix.com/blogs/Joshua/Hard-Rock-Cafe/ (http://www.visitmix.com/blogs/Joshua/Hard-Rock-Cafe/)

(If you want to create your own Deep Zoom content, you can use an app that I and a few others worked on: http://blogs.msdn.com/expression/archive/2008/03/05/download-the-preview-of-the-deep-zoom-composer.aspx (http://blogs.msdn.com/expression/archive/2008/03/05/download-the-preview-of-the-deep-zoom-composer.aspx))

(This uses the same technology found in PhotoSynth (http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=264820&highlight=photosynth) that was mentioned in this site before)

lol. They should def set a min and max zoom out. Zoom out and in and you lose it forever.

It's pretty nice.

Older than 10.4.8?! You can take a look at the system requirements: http://www.microsoft.com/silverlight/resources/installationFiles.aspx?v=2.0

While I don't know their future plans, based on my gut (which has never failed me), I am not sure supporting an older OS would be on their roadmap.

It's not running too smoothly for me (Mac OSX 10.4.11, FF2), but the concept and level of detail is nuts.
