MS comments about Flash re Vista I just saw a Video this morning after reading Dvorak's article that IE is now an albatross due to their loss to Eolas in December and the 11th of this month requiring a huge change to ActiveX control interaction. The video was a cross link and discussed the lack of real 3D with texturing etc. (DirectX) in Flash and a hint that "our technology you can't do on a browser". Well, you can in an ActiveX control but now that's Screwed :-) So Vista WinFX and the Macintosh "Viewer" (i.e. not designer app) will be this coming "Headon Collision between Adobe and Microsoft". I just want to encourage the FLEX and Flash 9 developers to try and bust Mickeysoft's bubble when it comes to the fact that they are an old man who is slowly dying -- they will be kept alive for a long time by their Cash Reserve which, some say has a lot of money in it through dirty tricks -- but in the end, I believe Adobe will come out ahead. Again, the FLEX group and FLASH group are full of very smart guys enough so to put in a DirectX like API that is perhaps a triggered add-on to the normal Flash Player, something that says "This site includes high-end real time graphics; do you want to download the OpenGL Flash Player support extension?" -r -r
