Hi Livelies 1. Is it just my imagination or is MS getting serious about IE? A new VM (with radical new innovations -like tagged integers!) and a new graphics stack on DirectX. I never thought it would happen (at least not yet, I expected they would keep back-pedalling on IE to give Silverlight room). The only missing piece from an LK perspective is what graphics api they will provide (surely they will have to provide something to replace vml -be it canvas?,svg?,xaml?).
Maybe this "browser as general platform" idea has got some legs after all :-) 2. Java progress A Batik powered applet that runs SVG/javascript turns out to be trivial. There is even an example in the source distribution, and after a fashion, with a number of issues that I haven't looked at, and with a snappy start time of about 8 minutes -it runs LK. an example can be coaxed into almost-life at the URL below: http://www.spatialmedia.com/lively/batik85r1/demo.html Pete F _______________________________________________ General mailing list General@livelykernel.sunlabs.com http://livelykernel.sunlabs.com/mailman/listinfo/general
