Microsoft released Silverlight 1.0 on Tuesday and said it has partnered with Novell to deliver a Linux version of the software.
In addition, Microsoft announced a number of consumer Web sites will use Silverlight to distribute video.
Silverlight is a cross-platform Web browser plug-in for displaying interactive Web applications and an alternative to Adobe’s Flash Player, which has become the de facto standard for video on the Web.
The Novell deal will result in a Linux version of Silverlight called Moonlight. Microsoft is also producing a version of Silverlight for Mac OS X.
