That's one way to get Silverlight on a mobile device: Port it to Moblin Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| Update: Microsoft isnât offering a whole lot of
| particulars about how Silverlight is being moved onto
| Moblin, other than reconfirming the effort uses neither
| Moonlight nor Mono. From a spokesperson:
|
| âMicrosoft plans to make a porting kit available to
| OEMs that will enable them to port Silverlight to
| their Moblin-based devices. Microsoft will provide
| Intel with Silverlight source code and test suites,
| and Intel will provide Microsoft with an optimized
| version of Silverlight for Moblin devices that
| Microsoft can then redistribute to OEMs. So when
| you get a device with Moblin, it will come with
| Silverlight.â

Microsoft and Intel port Silverlight to Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| Intel and Microsoft have announced a new port of
| Silverlight to Linux, specifically for the Intel-
| sponsored Moblin operating system running on Atom-
| powered devices such as netbooks. The port enables
| Intel to include Silverlight as a supported runtime in
| the Atom Developer Program, which will feed an iPhone-
| like App Store.
|
| Microsoft has already provided Intel with Silverlight
| source code and test suites. Intel will build an
| optimized Moblin version of Silverlight, which
| Microsoft will supply to OEMs.
|
| There are a couple of surprising aspects to the
| announcement. One is that a Linux implementation of
| Silverlight already exists, the open source Moonlight
| project. We asked Microsoftâs Brian Goldfarb, director
| of the Developer Platform Group, why Moonlight was not
| being used for Atom devices. Goldfarb replied by making
| a distinction between "broad Linux," which is targeted
| by Moonlight, and specific Linux-based devices where
| Microsoft might support other implementations.

Banshee UI to be in Moonlight
,----[ Quote ]
| Yes. Thatâs right. According to the GCDS 2009 presentation notes on the
| Banshee site, we learn lots of nice stuff about Banshee:
|
| âItâs not just an app, itâs a platformâ.
|
| * Long term goal is to write the UI in Moonlight
| o Declarative UI, canvas, scene graph, and toolkit
| o Moonlight is an Open Source implementation of Microsoftâs
| Silverlight technology â and it is awesome
|
| âBanshee is going to do photosâ
|
| âWe are re-basing the F-Spot core on top of Bansheeâ
|
| And it ends with GNOME, Mono and Banshee logos.
|
| Moonlight is of course, absolutely toxic unless you get it directly from
| Novell, as the so-called âcovenantâ specifically prohibits non-Novell
| distributions from distributing Moonlight
