SVG will have a tough time penetrating...Flash has the install base...even more so then Microsoft Windows...and that's the pot of gold...not that guarantees immunity to other techs but it'll take a helluva reason to warrant the switch in my opinion...

Talking about SVG, I found today an interesting product made by a german company (PCX software). They're developing : - a SVG Studio, a visual Authoring-Tool solution for SVG Developers, - a SVG Builder, Homesite(R)-like Editing Tool for SVG Developers. SVG Studio is VERY similar to Flash Authoring tool : timeline, animations, libraries, components(!!!)... Even the look&feel has been taken from Flash. Release date : september 2002, for 200� to 500�. http://www.web-zaehler.de/pcx/menu_2_svg_studio_short.shtml Might be an interesting product, this is exactly what was missing to SVG to compete with Flash in the field of vector graphics and animations. ~Flash5 (why Adobe hasn't developed a similar product earlier?) >From PCX website : "Typical Areas of SVG where you can use it's full power are - Interactive Web Presentations - Offline-Presentations - Mapping - Steering of industry machines - Graphical UI's for any machines like bank-automats - Mobile Phones (see MobileSVG) - Exchange Format for various graphic applications " But, right now, I am not sure that SVG might be a competitor in the field of Rich Internet App. ~FlashMX It is really too early for SVG to enter this arena. The technology isn't (yet?) mature enough (no IDE) and is not (yet?) widely distributed (SVG viewer plug-in : 2.4Mb!). It is only starting to take up. I don't know if we will see one day web app or web site entirely done with SVG. And I hope we will see web app entirely done with FlashMX soon ("macromedia.com"?).

Doesn't WinForms require a large client-side download and install? As for SVG, yes, we keep an eye on that. It'll be interesting to see what take up it gets.
