You mean, like Adobe has done with flash and acroreader, or VMware has done with their products, or WordPerfect did, etc.. ?? All closed-source binaries that I'm happy to use here on Linux?

As as we know if they released Silverlight for Linux themselves no one would want to use it...

We have no idea what would happen then, since they've never done that for any MS product, and never will.

They may be incredibly dumb and/or criminal at MS, but they're not stupid. For them, it's all about DOS/Windows as The platform. So porting _any_ app to Linux would be suicidal in their teensy minds.
