In a bid to compete with the growing (or should I say the already mammoth) influence of Adobe’s Flash, Microsoft and Novell had announced the launching of Moonlight.

The pack has been released in a bid to enable IT managers to workout deployments of Windows and Suse Linux. Novell’s GM Global Strategic Alliances, Susan Heystee stated:
That really goes to the value proposition and the focus we’ve really had around interoperability. Many of these companies are deploying Linux and windows in their data centers.
