I found this little GEM on YouTube.com and just had to share this with you. The Silverlight plug-in (with .net support thanks to the Mono project) has added the power to run Silverlight applications on the desktop (not just from a Website), called Desklets..
Here's an example video of Desklets in action. This is pretty cool all in all... Also a video of the Surface technology demo running in Moonlight in Linux.

Here are some of the first screenshots of Silverlight running in Linux. This is quite cool to see because this project has been FLYING ALONG.. These Mono Project folks are indeed very talented and bringing great function and the best of .NET to Linux.
The Famous Silverlight Airlines Demo
Even Microsoft's Famous multi-touch Surface Demo runs (modified)
Video Being scaled and rotated (EARLY DEMO)
This really bodes well for people adopting XAML mark-up and developing applications and Silverlight being a truly cross-platform plug-in and a great environment for Rich Internet Applications, no matter if you are on Linux, Macintosh, or Windows.
