On his blog, Miguel de Icaza announced the first public releases of Moonlight. Moonlight is the open source implementation of Microsoft's Silverlight, the company's Flash competitor. Moonlight is not yet free of bugs, though.

there _aren't_ hundreds of thousands of critical .NET apps that no one maintains any more. it's much too new for that. but, that's not really the point of mono. that is where WINE comes in handy, really. which, i don't believe miguel has anything to do with.
Miguel may never win back the love of FOSS supporters, but I think he's ok with that. He is fishing in a bigger pond: the other 95%.
i have to respectfully disagree. the 95% still using windows generally *don't know a darn thing* about mono/moonlight. they are NOT the target audience. and, if they *were*, they don't care. the target of mono is developers. the target of moonlight is sorta users... but not many developers are using silverlight to begin with. and honestly, i hope nobody does. (see my previous comment) the last thing we should be doing is supporting a not-free-enough platform controlled by a not-trustworthy-enough company.
