Open SUSE should ditch the Moonlight-repository of this completely unusable Silverlight-implementation for Linux. Unfortunately many websites use Silverlight for playing back flash-content, but the Moonlight-project always is lacking far behind the newest Silverlight-versions. The current Moonlight-version 2.4.1 is fully obsolete. Version 4 Preview is unstable and is not compatible with the latest Firefox-versions. It seems the Moonlight-project itself has died already. Besides that Micro$oft Silverlight is crap like Adobe Flashplayer is. Let’s wait on the overall implementation of HTML5 video and let’s fire the Moonlight-developers. And to Novell/Attachmate: this kind of coöperation with Microsoft doesn’t make any sense. At least not for an average OpenSUSE user like me.
