Obama Inauguration shines on Linux too with Moonlight (ars technica)

ars technica reports on efforts to get Moonlight to be able to display video streams of the Obama inauguration. Moonlight currently supports Silverlight 1.0, but the streams required Silverlight 2.0. "Several developers on Novell's Mono team leaped into action and worked late into the night so that Linux users will be able to watch the stream with Moonlight, an open source implementation of Silverlight 1.0. Their efforts, which were undertaken in collaboration with Microsoft, have ensured that the PIC stream will be accessible to Linux users who download the Moonlight browser plugin from the project's web site, as well as to PPC Mac users who rely on Microsoft's Silverlight 1.0 plugin."
