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.

Cool - will this third party include the ability to encode videos into any of the CODECs supported by Moonlight or 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?


I'm not sure it will even contain media encoders. Visual Studio doesn't, so I wouldn't expect it from the Eclipse plugin that they are sponsoring the development of.
