The Linux version of Silverlight is as open source friendly as Mono is. Depending on your stance on Mono, that means either “friendly” or “unfriendly”.

Is there a Linux version of Microsoft Silverlight? I don't think so, and if it would exist it wouldn't be Open Source friendly like Flash is. What about other OS?

In my mind, taking an old platform through so many phases is bound to give you a weaker and less-stable system. This is why I was happy about the introduction of MS Silverlight.

Obviously vulnerabilities exist whether they're known or not. I should have said the reason that Silverlight has no known (or very few) vulnerabilities is because of it’s limited market share.
