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.

I just tried and Netflix seems to limit which operating systems it allows to use the service. I remember it didn't work when I tried IE in Win7. It might work if you spoof Firefox's user agent but I would have to look into that a bit later.

Any site I've been to that uses Silverlight requires an Microsoft OS. So having Moonlight installed did me no good.
