Miguel posts an interesting blog on cross platform stand alone silverlight. As Miguel points out there was already a way to do this with Moonlight on linux, but not on windows.
Using a Windows.Forms.WebControl to embed a sliverlight control is trivial approach to doing this. But Tamir has gone to the effort of wiring it all up for you now which is great. His approach also runs a HttpListener in a separate thread to enable the silverlight control to dispatch requests back and forth.

Miguel tells us of pash. I was interested in this back when it was called Monad Shell, but never really got into it. The good thing about pash though is that it’s relatively cross platform (Linux, MacOSX, Windows and even WindowsCE). Might have to have another look at it.
Update: Apparently pash is still at the stage where it’s an open source re-implementation of Monad Shell and not quite a Power Shell replacement… yet.
