Internet & Networking The beta for Moonlight 2.0 is now available. It's considered feature complete and is ready to test against Silverlight 2.0-minded websites. Microsoft has already gone and released Silverlight 3.0, but the Moonlight team is pretty confident that users will generally be able to access most if not all web content while Silverlight 3.0 is still young. Moonlight will ask to update itself to the beta automatically in Firefox, but new users can also download the plugin.

are we talking about the same crippled experience that Sun did to JavaFX developers on Solaris or the sad attempt by Adobe to create a Flash tool based upon Eclipse?

You bet Microsoft's freebie Eclipse plugin will be vastly inferior to their Visual Studio tools, for a variety of reasons (including that Visual Studio is a really good and mature tool, whatever my dislike for Microsoft may be, and that it brings Microsoft lots of both money and control -- the latter much more importantly).
