New studies/surveys indicate that Microsoft lies about Silverlight's 'success' and its lies about openness are rather fruitless

What is the field which you create in (photography, writing, movies, music, etc)? Do you want to read stories and interviews of people who produce similar content and release it under a CC license? We now have many such writeups on the Case Studies page. As you will see, that page and all of the case studies linked from it, are in a wiki.

How to remove Mono from GNU/Linux and why Microsoft is lying about Silverlight

I had previously pointed out that the lack of supported platforms was a serious problem for Silverlight, especially when compared to Flash. The root of the problem was that Moonlight, the Linux version of Silverlight, is usually at least one release behind the Windows and mac versions of Silverlight. This caused confusion for developers as it was not clear which features would work on Linux.

The campaign to market Silverlight as "open source" (falsely so) is continuing

In another “not quite Windows Live but still cool” post, Moonlight, an open source implementation of Microsoft Silverlight for Unix systems, is now available in both Silverlight v1.o and 2.0 builds. Silverlight, while it still has a long way to go to become as widely adapted as Adobe’s Flash, is leading the charge for Microsoft to become a more open eco-system for development.

"This paper presents several case studies to demonstrate how open source software can achieve long-term sustainability by adopting the relevant business models."

"Not too long ago, I shared my thoughts on Microsoft's introduction of Silverlight, their blatant lack of Linux support and how they were aiming at regaining their browser dominance. Well, it looks like the open source crowd has picked up the pieces again with a solution to conquer what ails the common Linux user. Silverlight, meet Moonlight. "
