That's one way to get Silverlight on a mobile device: Port it to Moblin Linux

Now I could at least accept that.

I'm still a bit wary of an MS plugin becoming an internet standard. BUT at LEAST they are doing this as a first party and not some half baked, always behind the times attempt like Moonlight and Mono. If they had first class support for the CLR on other operating systems I would be open to it.

Oh and the other thing....MS is eventually going to concede the fact that they can't keep giving away Windows. Linux will have to take its place on the netbook and they will have to find other ways to keep it from spreading to the normal desktop. One way might just be Moblin or similar customized interfaces. They don't threaten to show lure people away from the familiarity of a Windows desktop to do normal work. The good thing for the Linux crowd is that it increases the install base which increases drivers and other compatibility issues as businesses would then have to think about Linux clients accessing their services. It could work out to be a win win.
