Mono Project Novell's Miguel de Icaza has announced on his blog that Moonlight has hit the 1.0 milestone. Moonlight is the open source implementation of Microsoft's Silverlight technology, a framework similar to Adobe's Flash. Silverlight has already been used during the Olympic Games and President Obama's inauguration for streaming those events across the internet.

Mono already is innovating and better than Microsoft's .NET in a number of ways (in fact, they're copying our features now!)


Mono has cutting edge features like SIMD optimizations and an interactive C# shell (Microsoft has announced that they will be adding a C# interactive shell for .NET 5.0 which won't be out until 2012)

Mono also had Mono.Addins long before Microsoft released their Microsoft Extension Framework.
