I appreciate all your work on this and I'm sure you will deliver a good product in time. I'm concerned though that Microsoft is happy to use Linux support as a PR checkbox, but gives it pretty much zero visibility in reality. For example, I've just looked at the official Get Started page and there isn't even a link to Moonlight right now: http://silverlight.net/GetStarted/ Tim Thank Miguel.

We are putting the finishing touches on the upcoming Moonlight release. I agree that until we push all the packages to the public, it does not have the same kind of user experience that Silverlight users get on Windows and Mac. But at least Linux users today have the choice of getting precompiled packages from various popular packaging services. Miguel. Hey Tim!

We are putting the finishing touches on the upcoming Moonlight release.

I agree that until we push all the packages to the public, it does not have the same kind of user experience that Silverlight users get on Windows and Mac.

But at least Linux users today have the choice of getting precompiled packages from various popular packaging services.
