Yes, Moonlight is a plugin with a language runtime in it, somewhat
like the JVM. However, so is Flash. And the Javascript built into
the browser isn't terribly different; it's just another DLL. If you'd
tried the Silverlight demos, you'd know that the experience is much
closer to Flash than it is to Java, and you wouldn't have to spread
FUD out of ignorance.
