I'd agree that it will add size to the player, but there's been so much

Certainly they should add enough to FlashPlayer to compete head to head with
Mickeysoft, so that the best of breed is in Adobe.
Trusting MS to handle marketshare wisely is not a good thing ever to me.

they couldn't make a go for it..... but then there is always
papervision, and the Flash renderer is fairly fast.
