Microsoft Silverlight For Linux

Posted by Michael Larabel on September 05, 2007

If X.Org drivers aren't your thing today, you may be pleased to know that there is looking to be a good implementation of Microsoft's Silverlight for Linux. Silverlight 1.0 was released today, but it was also announced that Microsoft has partnered with Novell to deliver Moonlight, which will be a Silverlight-compatible run-time implementation for Linux. Microsoft will also be delivering Silverlight Media Codecs for Linux. Novell's Moonlight will support both JavaScript and the .NET programming model inside FireFox, Konqueror, and Opera. Find out more on the ASP Weblogs.
