"Cross-platform and cross-browser support. This includes support for Mac, Windows and Linux in Firefox, Safari and Windows Internet Explorer."
Really? Why is it that the official silverlight website has no mention of Linux at all. Not like Moonlight is compatible with Silverlight yet and probably will never be completely, so can't count that...
