Silverlight will be available on Linux using Mono
The open-source Mono project will make Silverlight, an analogue of Adobe Flash from Microsoft, available on Linux.
While the development has not begun, it seems that the decision to do this has already been made. This is what Miguel de Icaza, one of the most famous authors of the Mono project, which portrays the Microsoft .Net Framework to various operating systems, including Linux, tells about the idea: “This is a natural continuation of what we do ... almost the next logical step for us. "
Silverlight is actually the same .Net virtual machine with two additional libraries. In particular, one library is responsible for rendering graphics. The second part of Silverlight is the host that can be embedded in the browser.

The goal is to launch Silverlight content on Linux: “Our interest in development ensures that computers with Linux will understand the content hosted on the Web,” says Ikaza.
Ikaza hopes that the first version will appear by the end of the year, but the release of Silverlight for Mono will depend on the release of Microsoft's Silverlight 1.1.
