Moonlight 1.0 Brings Silverlight Content To Linux
An anonymous reader writes "Novell has unveiled some of the fruits of its technical collaboration with Microsoft in the form of Moonlight 1.0, a Firefox plug-in which will allow Linux users to access Microsoft Silverlight content. Officially created by the Mono project, it is available for all Linux distributions, including openSUSE, SUSE Linux Enterprise, Fedora, Red Hat and Ubuntu. Also included in Moonlight is the Windows Media pack, with support for Windows Media Video, Windows Media Audio and MP3 files."
No Thanks.
You can't take the sky from me.
And I don't see anything in Silverlight that isn't similarly addressed by HTML5. Ergo, HTML5 is superior for its standardization, true cross-platform support, and competing implementations that can meet the needs of many different ideals.
As I said elsewhere, HTML5 has no way to do anything like this:

As for cross-platform, Moonlight 2.0 should be able to run SmoothHD just fine, and more importantly a whole lot of content published using that platform.

You guys must be getting pretty desperate. I bet "symbolset" is on the cork board on your way into work with a note that says "don't." And yet still you try. Ok, who has Apple partnered with and then knifed in the back? Anybody? Ever?
Start here. Proceed to this and this and this.
Now after you've clicked all that, do you feel like you've done a good job for your boss? Have you accomplished your goal? Did you give the freetards what for? Or do you feel like you've wasted an AC post on something you can't turn in for credit? Have you in fact harmed your employer? Do you think that maybe that's why the note is on the cork board?
Keep trying though. The guy that scores points on me in the blog center is going to be the Black Prince of Bangalore.
Help stamp out iliturcy.
Out of topic but can you please use full stop next time? I really had hard time reading your post. Halfway through I just couldn't continue.
