Silverlight On the Way To Linux

Afforess writes "For the past two years Microsoft and Novell have been working on the 'Moonlight' project. It is a runtime library for websites that run Silverlight. It should allow PCs running Linux to view sites that use Siverlight. Betanews reports 'In the next stage of what has turned out to be a more successful project than even its creators envisioned, the public beta of Moonlight — a runtime library for Linux supporting sites that expect Silverlight — is expected within days.' Moonlight 2.0 is already in the works."

    They are not fucking being nice, for god's sake... They want to make the web 100% MS dependent, and then they will OBVIOUSLY pull the plug out of moonlight, not to say that you need to use SLED if you want moonlight legally (And this comes from MS and Novell reps' mouths).
