One of the difficulties open source software faces is in implementing support ? where it is even possible to do so ? for the wide variety of codecs, formats, and other proprietary technologies that users have come to rely on. One such technology is Microsoft's Silverlight framework, which until early this year, was a no-go for Linux users.
That changed in January, when the first version of the Moonlight project ? a collaboration between the Novell-sponsored Mono project and Microsoft, begun in 2007 ? was released, providing Linux users with Open Source Silverlight support.

Recently, I got the opportunity to pose a few questions to key people involved with open source efforts at Microsoft, including Sam Ramji (the recently promoted head of Microsoft's open source and Linux efforts), Ori Amiga (Microsoft Group Product Manager, Live Developer Platform), and Susan Hauser (General Manager of Strategic Partnerships and Licensing). They offered up some thought-provoking input on what open source needs, Novell, China, Live Mesh, and other topics. I thank them for taking the time, and please read on for their comments.
