See the derstarndard.at interview with Miguel de Icaza, It clearly
shows  how m$ wants to make a proprietary web using silver lite.
Microsoft i using Mono & Moonlite project of Novell as a back door to
enter to the world of GNU/Linux. People like Migual who is leading
GNOME foundation become their brand ambassadors (who pushes
implementation of  OOXML in GNOME, Pushing Mono as an Integral part of
GNOME & now developing moonlite too)

For me this interview is a solid reason to switch to KDE4 which is
protected with GPLv3
