Celebrating the 70th Anniversary of The Wizard of Oz, and the re-release by Warner Brothers of an HD version of the movie, Netflix has launched a website to stream the movie for FREE to anyone in America on October 3rd.
Netflix also hosted a free, live concert and outdoor movie screening on Tuesday, September 29th, in New York City’s Central Park at Rumsey Playfield. The concert featured songs from “The Wizard of Oz” performed by Jennifer Hudson, Julianne Hough and ?uestlove. 
New renditions of “Wizard of Oz” songs from the concert are also posted on the site here.
The site has been implemented with Smooth Streaming, an IIS Media Services extension, that enables adaptive streaming of media to Silverlight clients over HTTP. Smooth Streaming provides a high-quality viewing experience that scales massively on content distribution networks, making true HD media experiences (720p+) a reality.

Recently, we worked with Clubspaces to envision how they could leverage a number of Windows Live Services and new technologies like Silverlight. It quickly became apparent that there was a great opportunity to develop a solution that provided huge value to Clubspaces and its customers. It was also planned that the source would be made available to the Developer community and essentially anyone that would like to download the source code, customize it, and use the Field Manager Quick App.
Clubspaces and Microsoft partner, SharpLogic developed and released the beta of (MyGameDay) Field Manager, a Windows Live Quick App* to Codeplex.
