Silverlight works with any web server. Video and audio content can also be progressively downloaded and played back from any Web server platform. The benefits of Windows server-based distribution in the final 2.0 release of Silverlight will include Windows Media Services with Fast Stream (instant playback) and Fast reconnect technologies, lower distribution costs (streaming users only download what they watch), and will fully take advantage of the entire Windows server ecosystem of platform components and partner solutions.
