    • Windows Forms applications running on Linux (in Mono) will be accessible using available Linux ATs.
  • Phase 2 - Q4 2009 - UIA Client and Moonlight integration
    • The UIA Client will be implemented using AT-SPI as the IPC.
    • The UIA Provider interfaces will be implemented to support Moonlight.
