Microsoft brings Silverlight to Linux

,----[ Quote ]
| Novell shocked to be undermined. Everyone else points 
| and laughs.
| 
| So, the news is out that Microsoft is bringing real 
| Silverlight to Moblin. This is not Moonlight, this is 
| the real-deal Silverlight 3 in a joint effort with 
| Intel for Atom-based platforms.
| 
| A very interesting development.
| 
| [...]
| 
| Note Microsoft claims âweâ (meaning Novell and 
| Microsoft) are building Moonlight. Microsoft says 
| Moonlight is a Microsoft project.
| 
| I whole-heartedly agree that it is a âclear extensionâ 
| of Microsoftâs current efforts. That is phase 2, after 
| all.

With so many companies dumping Silver Lie, maybe they realised they have no choice
but to really support Linux (and throw Moon Lie to the bitbucket)?

Analysis: How Moonlight 2.0 Fits into Novell's Linux and Open Source Plans

,----[ Quote ]
| But to critics of Novell's moves to align with Microsoft to offer Moonlight
| as a way to make Silverlight-enabled content work for Linux users, the bad
| karma continues. Instead of this being a good thing for Novell and Linux
| users, critics argue, the Moonlight project helps Microsoft maintain a
| leadership role in a development platform that only gives lip service to the
| open source community, they say.
