We are planning to buy an enterprise web based application which is built on ASP.NET. Now its basic requirement are IE8 and Silverlight for user terminals to run the application.

Is there any way to implement above requirements on a Linux based OS so that we can save some money on license cost for Windows OS for all our terminals?
