I'd be interested in seeing this port, as well. It'd be nice to maintain my ruby callscript on sipsorcery without ever leaving my N900 for a laptop.

Netflix doesn't work with Moonlight due to DRM, so I personally don't see the point. But you likely have other uses...

Bumping this request... is it possible to port the latest Moonlight? I'd like to have it to see online Italian national tv (rai).

I ventured onto Windows Phone 7 website... not as if I was planning to change my N900 for that, just to see what they are up to. Anyway, I found a video link from engadget (same subject) using silverlight. Then on the Silverlight website I saw that they mentioned it for 'mobile devices', I don't know if it means laptops or phones(other then MS) as well because the only 3 links were for Win/Mac and Moonlight for Linux... No Android or Symbian link to my knowledge. It would be nice if Moonlight was ported to Maemo and Meego though, since I got a feeling that we'll encounter more of SL in the future.

I have Flash disabled in my desktop browsers and enable it rarely (I had to install it because I wanted to watch Sherlock Holmes, and this TV website required Flash, damn them, why don't they offer HTML 5?).
I don't know whether I have Flash on N900 - I haven't needed it, and if it is installed here, I'll look whether it can be uninstalled.
I don't have Silverlight at all - and I will not install it even if Microsoft says that it's made an open standard (like it did with docx).

When will HTML 5 become the standard for interactive webpages, audio and video playing? When will SVG and MathML be as common as PNG is today?

Of course, it's good to have Gnash along with Flash and Moonlight along with Silverlight, but I consider Sudoku Solver more justified installation than any of these four above-mentioned programs.

Good day, and don't be angry at my bias.

Good luck with porting Moonlight to Maemo/MeeGo.

Or Netflix! I wish Netflix would drop it and get some other technology so we can use the service in Ubuntu instead of under VBox on Ubuntu.

I've never even seen anything use Silverlight. Then again, anything I saw that did would just make me say "So?" and not install it.

Funny story about proprietary crap. I don't know about anyone else from here, but when I tried to sign up on TI.com for getting Flash 10.1 for ARM, it wouldn't work, I finally had to use IE. I felt dirty. It wouldn't go past the registration page in Firefox under Linux or Windows.

I had to use proprietary crap to try to get proprietary crap. Go figure.
