Can't remember this particular software?

It's the equivalent of Microsoft's Silverlight... I remember Mandriva had (has?) it, a plugin.. MoonSomething... or SomethingMoon...
I'd like to see if Arch has it, is why I'm asking.
Thanks.

It still is controlled by Microsoft though, via Novell. This is what I found in aur:

Yeah, got it. Jim, you were right. Thanks so much.
I need it for something... controlled by M$ or not. Thanks to both of you.
Edit: Problem is... does it require mono? If so, I really won't install it. Can't stand mono.

Yes it is a mono project. So you will be needing mono I guess. Do you don't need it now?

It's a conundrum. I've done a heckuva lot of fighting against mono in the past. I think it's the most evil thing about Linux.
However, hotmail is now requiring Silverlight...
Uuuuggghh.
I need extreme coffee before I can make a decision on this.

Yeah for sure.
I blew it off in the end - haven't felt like screwing with it anyway. My hotmail's a mess from all kinds of things (almost 700 emails [that are not spam even!) - thought I'd straighten it out, but think now I'll just abandon it. It's too much of a hassle.
