LOL. Adobe Asphyxiating Microsoft. Man, Adobe totally missed their chance when we (the old time SVG guys) were pushing rendering multinamespace XML documents. Check out what the XSmiles.org guys have done. Adobe was on the cusp of what Microsoft is doing with Silverlight, but back in 2001/2002. They totally blew their chance, and now Adobe is behind the eightball, and falling further back fast. Way back then, I tried to convince the Adobe SVG team to jump on the Binary Behavior technology in IE and rewrite the SVG viewer to use it. The answer was that handling to the 2 different DOMs (HTML and SVG) and rendering models was too hard, and not worth the effort, especially in multiple browsers and OSes scenarios. Opps, Microsoft just announce that they will be doing that with Silverlight. Now, Adobe has killed off SVG support, and thrown their muscle behind Flash. In the end, we (the developers) will win, no matter which one winds up on top. But, my money is placed firmly behind Microsoft. It makes sense in my case, and is probably not the bet of choice on this discussion list. To each their own. But in the end, we all can win from the competition (well everyone but the W3C).
