Moonlight (runtime) Plugin

Moonlight is an open source implementation of the Silverlight browser plug-in, based on Mono (an open source implementation of .NET).

Moonlight is being jointly developed by Microsoft and Novell to:

  • allow Silverlight applications to run on Linux
  • offer a Linux SDK (software development kit) for Silverlight applications
  • use the existing Silverlight engine to develop desktop applications.

Like Silverlight, Moonlight manifests as a runtime environment for browser-based rich Internet applications (RIAs) and, similarly, adds to animation, video playback and vector graphics capabilities. Developers are also creating desktop widgets called "desklets" to extend Moonlightapplications beyond the browser.
