schestowitzHi Bill,Dec 27 00:54
schestowitzMoonlight is hardly maintained anymore. Novell/Attachmate disbanded this efforts. In fact, many networks now dump Silverlight (gradually) because Microsoft too is withdrawing from this project, which has been a failure. HTML5 is going to replace Flash video too, in due course, which is good news.Dec 27 00:54
