  • Drag to move a page
  • Zoom pages
  • Searching  through all pages that previously impossible because it was using png images
  • Find all links in all pages
  • Thumbnail preview page and quickly jump to that pages

There are a big problem. Moonlight is not supported Silverlight 2.0 yet, so if you are using it on NON windows OS, you will not see it :) .
