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.

Not to defend silverlight, but it does a whole lot more than the what the <video> tag does.

Also it's really quite good technology. I haven't played a lot with it, but from what I've seen I'd certainly consider choosing it over flash, if it becomes more widespread across platforms.

A wise man once said there is no such thing as weeds.... only unwanted plants
