I know this has been covered by many others but I feel I need to jump on the band wagon...

For the official news go to the press release Microsoft Delivers Silverlight 1.0, Extends Support to Linux WTF? Yes we have made a deal with Novel to do a bunch of legal stuff that will let people use the Moonlight project from Mono to run Silverlight applications without worry of getting in trouble with intellectual property issues.

I think this a great for every one concerned! I know it will help Mono and Microsoft in the short and long term! I hope we do more of this type of stuff!
