Miguel Plans Silverlight on Mono & Linux by Years End

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the how-does-miguel-get-to-be-a-vp dept.

El Lobo writes "The Mono open-source project will create a Linux version of Silverlight by the end of year, said Miguel de Icaza, a Novell vice president and head of Mono. Asked about plans for Linux, Microsoft executives have been non-committal, saying that it will depend on demand. But de Icaza, who is attending Mix, was able to commit without hesitating."

    You know Miguel, I was thinking the same thing. Software names on linux are not obscure enough. Picking a name that can't even be written in latin characters would be the pinnacle of l337ness. Faddadaw' will conquer the market for sure.

    How about keeping the "mono" in there. You could call it "Monopolight" maybe.
