Speaking to different parts of Microsoft, SVG has never come up. When I forced the issue at Xtech 2005, they suggested they have a better solution... XAML, yeah the thing which has bits of XHTML, CSS, DHTML, VRML, SVG, SMIL, etc, etc... Yeah messy and not a standard by anyone except Microsoft, but we can assume supporting that will come well above SVG support in IE and Vista.
It's a shame because even Opera 8 has support for the SVG Tiny profile, which indicates they are dipping there toes in the svg waters. cheers Ian Forrester | BBC World Service [New Media Software Engineer] > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dave Cross > Sent: 09 August 2005 09:39 > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [backstage] 3D >> SVG > > > On Mon, Aug 08, 2005 at 06:36:16PM +0100, Jonathan Chetwynd wrote: > > SVG* is most likely the technology that you seek, as it's accessible > > and from w3c. > > it's more like 2D plus animation, which maybe 3.5D rather than the > > full 4D.... > > many mobile phones are already SVG enabled, and the mozilla > browser > > deerpark doesn't require a plugin. > > I agree that SVG is the best technology for this kind of > thing and it'll be supported out of the box in Firefox 1.1. > > Does anyone know if IE7 will have SVG support?
