Moonlight 1.0 no longer needs Mono

One of the characteristics that will make Silverlight really successful is its implementation on different platforms, it is already known that Novell has made an agreement with Microsoft for Miguel Icaza and the Mono group to develop the plugin for any OS on linux. For the above it is important to highlight this announcement that the Moonlight developers make who have managed to make it independent (remove the Mono references) to version 1.0 of Moonlight.

The above makes a lot of sense since just like in Silverlight 1.0, version 1.0 of Moonlight only runs code in JavaScript, so if I do not need the CLR and the class library, why put all of Mono in it?.

I hope it is helpful
