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.

You can use Moonlight without the Microsoft codecs. You can compile with FFmpeg if you want, or (since Moonlight is Free Software), you can patch it to use GStreamer instead (in fact, if you do, we'd love to get those GStreamer patches into Moonlight trunk so send 'em our way!).
