I agree. When I first thought about watching the Olympics online I was just expecting to see a version of iplayer with the usual BBC1 and 2 coverage. What they pulled off was incredible. The people behind it should be very proud for actually delivering something that pushes beyond just replicating the TV experience.
My only issue was with Flash. I'm not into bashing Flash just for the sake of it, but my only frustrations were caused by Flash just not living up to the rest of the delivery experience. I think it was the hardware acceleration issue that is already mentioned in their FAQ. Geting the video to play was sometimes a case of throw a 6 to start.
