Windows 7 X64 Novell finalizes Moonlight 2; offers

Novell released on December 17 Moonlight 2, its latest version of its Silverlight for Linux port. It also announced broader licensing terms for Moonlight, designed to protect from potential lawsuits customers who wish to run Moonlight on numerous versions of Linux, not only on Novell;s.Moonlight two is often a superset of Silverlight two,Microsoft Office 2007 Product Key, because it consists of numerous characteristics from Silverlight 3. Microsoft released Silverlight 3 inside the spring of 2009 and it is currently moving toward delivering Silverlight four inside the first 50 percent of 2010.Miguel de Icaza, Mono challenge founder and Novell Vice President of Developer Platforms, said he and his crew are moving ahead to complete delivery with the complete Silverlight 3 feature set, with priorities becoming placed on “getting the major applications that users need to use 1st,” according to a new blog post he wrote today.Novell launched a preview of Moonlight two in May. Moonlight is built on top of Mono two.6 runtime,Windows 7 Activation Key, Cairo and Gtk+ and today supports Firefox on Linux. “We are hard at work to support Google Chrome on Linux as well,Office Professional 2007 Key,” de Icaza stated in his post.De Icaza also explained the ins and outs with the new “covenant” protections he negotiated with Microsoft for Moonlight. He said that his team wanted to make sure anyone using any BSD or Linux variant could redistribute Moonlight. From his post:“The new patent covenant ensures that other third party distributions can distribute Moonlight without the fear of getting sued over patent infringement by Microsoft.“There is one important difference between the edition of Moonlight that will be available from Novell and the edition that you will get from your distribution: the edition obtained from Novell will have access to licensed media codecs.”A preview release of Moonlight 3 will be made available inside the initial quarter of 2010 with a final release scheduled for the third quarter of 2010, according to Novell. Moonlight 4 “will follow shortly thereafter,Windows 7 X64,” a company press release mentioned.
