Microsoft Silverlight Streaming by Windows Live will be in maintenance mode this morning (between 10:00 AM and 12:00 PM PST) as we perform the upgrade to make it work with Silverlight 2 RTW bits. While we have no planned outage during this maintenance period, you may experience some intermittent timeouts as we cycle the servers out and back in rotation (half of them first, then the other half).

We apologize for the inconvenience, and thank you again for you continued support and usage of this service.

The outcome of the upgrade is that Silverlight Streaming will work with Silverlight 2 apps using the RTW bits. It will no longer work with Silverlight 2 apps using the Beta 2 bits, so please make sure to update such apps, if you have any hosted in SLS.

The upgrade will not affect your Silverlight 1 apps hosted in SLS.
