Another speculative muse in the category of "looking on the bright side":
a) more people will probably start to use Firefox and Opera b) Microsoft, sensing a loss of market share for IE, will decide to reprioritize their own native support for SVG, under the old "more features means better software" theory c) in hiring the expertise necessary to speed the addition of SVG support into their browser, Microsoft will find itself willing and able to start new fronts of competition with Adobe. For example, they will create a competitor to PDF and make it public domain, they'll donate millions to development of the GIMP and then bundle it with the OS, they'll buy Pixar and build a heads-on competitor for Flash/Director and Lingo (using .net and SVG), and will start giving away all of Corbis' images for free. All this will result in depletion of Microsoft's cash reserves. d) Adobe will have to buy Microsoft just to keep down its competition. (hey just kidding -- well, at least about some of this) David ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Check out the new improvements in Yahoo!
