1.- Windows live Ecosystem.

You can post to spaces, download videos to zune (partially supported ,but will be added in full later), and you can synch the video to your live messenger allowing you to watch a video along a contact

2.- Targeted experience.

The experience using IE7 in soapbox is better than with other browser because it serves the new improved wmv-s codec along with a smart cache that allow you to jump forward to any point of the video and stream from there on.

The experience in other browsers uses a smart loading served with flash, that is still in experimentation but that has slowly turned better and better, but it is still not as fast loadig than other contrire to the lightening fast it is under IE7.

3.-totally asynchronic and dynamic layout..

this is allow you have lightbox streaming, coment input, report, taging, rating, searching and uploading without ever interrumping your viewing..

you can upload a video and at the same time being viewing a video and leaving a message in the same breath.. this allows for a very speedy watching, if have a 3000 mb line and it is like watching tv… in that respect it is what makes it stand out the most.

so, it does has some unique features to it.
