My thinking was to show people how quick and easy it was to get going from sign up through to actually using the product but perhaps this might be better suited to an instructional video rather than the main promotional one on the homepage.

Will order a microphone and see if I can get better quality sound on it, thanks for the shout. I'm normally too busy squirming at the sound of my own voice to notice the quality of the recording!

I have to second the comment on the length. In particular, I think the first minute where you show yourself typing in your name to create a new account and then checking email to verify the account, etc is a little unnecessary. At this point in the video, I haven't even seen the product so I'm definitely not sold on creating an account on your site or watching a movie about it. Maybe you can move that part to another video for people that might need help creating an account.

It would also chop off one minute of an 8 minute long demo.

It's cool that you decided to go with Silverlight despite the fact that it's less tried than Flash. Good luck!
