Abstract

Microsoft Research, in collaboration with Microsoft Corp. Chairman Bill Gates, has purchased rights and is freely streaming Feynman's seven Cornell 1964 lectures on The Character of Physical Law. I watched and greatly enjoyed the first introductory lecture on gravitation. The lectures are being used to demonstrate a new Microsoft video annotation format product called Microsoft Silverlight. While the videos and Silverlight are freely available from Microsoft for a limited selection of platforms, operating systems (OSs) and browsers, I was unable to make Silverlight run on my elderly Mac, or to install Silverlight on several PCs in our physics department. I did manage to watch the first video (only) on a colleague's more recent Mac laptop.
