Moonlight's M$ moonshine
When you read through the comments it's apparent that this is just M$ legal gibberish that still means you are only safe using Moonlight so long as you get it from M$-Novell.
Why bother using it when, by all accounts, it's a very poor implementation of Microsoft's dubious Silverlight, anyway?
I've been getting very good value from the non-Flash Minitube. Give that a go, instead.

You mean "SilverBlight"..
You meant SilverBlight, right?
I even better: "SilverLie"..

Sounds good
Yeah, SilverBlight sounds like a pretty good description.
Maybe Ballmer was hoping to make tons of silver out of it, but you still don't hear anyone raving about it, even in the M$ camp. Maybe it's just as big a dud as Miguel's MoonBlight.
Serves them right, really. M$ were only trying to stiff their proprietary mates at Adobe with this SilverBlight, anyway.
There really is no honour among thieves.
