I doubt if the NY Times app could work on Silverlight but I'd like to have a link for that if you have one. You may have been looking at a WPF Browser Application (XBAP), which is quite different. A WPF Browser application uses the full WPF stack on the client machine except that it runs in a security sandbox. Or you might have been looking at a Click Once WPF application. Silverlight itself has very poor text support, and it's generally quite weak across the board. It has streaming video and simple animations, but almost none of the features you'd need to a typical business application. The number of controls it has right now is extremely small. Of course it will get better over time. Mono's Moonlight may have trouble keeping up unless WPF will be implemented in Mono at some point. The main reason Mono's Moonlight works today is because there's only a small amount of WPF functionality in Silverlight at this time. Unlike the way Silverlight is implemented on Windows, Moonlight sits on top of Mono on the client. So linux client machines need Mono in order to use Moonlight.
