"Microsoft, apparently, is helping the folks at Mono to port Silverlight to Linux. This is good news, as the primary fear I've heard from developers is that Silverlight will be locked to Microsoft platforms and products. Microsoft has already committed to supporting Silverlight cross-browser on Windows, and has a version that runs on Mac OS X (which is even available from the Apple web site). The last step is Linux, and Microsoft is working with Novell and Mono to make this happen."

Microsoft will help with the port, wait until it's a defacto, and then start allowing annoying little incompatabilities to start percolatnig in the other ports in a bid to remarry people back to their monopoly who may have drifted over to the alternatives. "Windows, the trouble-free Silerlight platform."
