Just wanted to point out that the ad-hoc w3c meeting was hosted by Macromedia themselves, and the statement they released did say that Microsoft already had presented some potential options. It will be interesting to see how this all ends up if Microsoft looses their appeal, or if the judge orders an injunction against IE. I'm kind of hoping MS does lose, simply because it will shake up the whole industry. These last 2 years have been entirely too boring.
I think Flash will be fine...if however this gets IE any closer to it's non-standard buggy ass grave (and I hope they miscalculate the size the grave, because they only measured the width of the inside of the coffin! hah! Well...I can dream anyway :)) I'm all for it, no matter how invalid the patent is. -- mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Monday, September 1, 2003, 1:15:42 PM, you wrote: KG> Okay, I know this is legal FUD, but I'm always fascinated by the IP rulings KG> these days.
