Microsoft Silverlight Coming To Linux… Finally

GNOME founder Miguel de Icaza has posted in his blog that a Microsoft Silverlight plugin for Linux browsers is coming soon. His team had a stretch of twenty one days where they worked twelve to sixteen hours per day to get this far. There is no packaged binary yet, but it should only be another week before we see one. I have yet to play around with any Silverlight content, even in Windows, so I am looking forward to finally seeing this plugin. Kudos to Miguel and his team for their efforts!

At this point we do not have a packaged release of Silverlight for Linux and we still have to sort out a few things that would have to be done in order to ship a ready-to-use plugin. But if you are curious or want to contribute to the effort check our page for information on downloading, compiling and getting started with the project.
