Sure, you can watch Silvelight content across platforms - that's part of its point. And to the extent NBC made what they made available online available to everyone it is OK.

Only the TVTonic stuff was Vista only and that was only a small portion of the actual content. And most of the reports on video quality have been quite good actually.
