This seems to imply that Microsoft will be building Moonlight, which isn't really true. Microsoft has chosen to endorse Moonlight as a Silverlight implementation for Linux. Here's the
full info from Miguel de Icaza's blog.
Good move on Microsoft's part, getting this past Legal. I hope there aren't any surprises in the EULA (Miguel seems to think it's ok). Will do a lot for acceptance of Silverlight as a standard. Linux fans may be a minority, but they can be a vocal minority when it comes to platform adoption.
