You're very much concentrating on the WWW. I would
like to remind you that Mozilla is not just a web
browser,
and SWF is not just used for creating web content. I
cannot talk about this issue in detail. Sorry.
Raster gave excellent answers to both of us anyway.
But... Since you have written 3 paragraphs on the web
theme, I will try to reply to your claims from that
point of view.
It is true that SWF is bandwidth-friendly. And it
would be a disasterous mistake to suggest that
broadband internet(>512K, mostly 1.5-2M) will not be
widespread (even in so-called underdeveloped regions)
in a few years. Macromedia, along with others, is
definitely looking into this fact.
And let's suppose one of those companies decided to
go open-source. The lead programmer likes a project,
say
for the mailing list's sake, EFL. They start pouring
millions on it. Then with the release of Longhorn
2008, you
suddenly see X plugins/players/gadgets... doing all
sorts of things on the WEB, for the WEB, you cannot
even imagine.
No more on this plugin/web issue please, it is rather
vague at this time; unrelated to EFL.
