Interesting... I think there will alway be innovative new technology that specific browsers support, that other don't. MS is no different to any other company in this space. They took advantage of IE in SharePoint 2007 the fact that now other browsers support similar technology is a good thing.
MS have a track record of bringing technology to the world... if it wasn't for IE and the way MS implemented the XMLHttpRequest we wouldn't have AJAX today. Active-X (1996) was a technology that has now largely been replaced by Silverlight (2008)/Flash (from 1996 too)... now it seems Flash is on the way out with HTML 5 and Apple against it. Anyone remember Java Applets (1995), everyone was trying to extend browser technology back then... same as today :-) Regards, Paul Turner MCT, MCPD: Enterprise, MCSD, MCDBA, MCTS, Microsoft vTSP Consultant M: 0412 748 168 A: 66 Henley Beach Road, Mile End SA 5031 E: paul.tur...@dws.com.au W: www.dws.com.au This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and are only for the use of the person to whom they are addressed.

I think moving away from ACTIVE-X plugin in embed views to more a standardised rendering view. Chrome/Safari/Opera alot of other browsers that are cutting edge and do comply better than what IE can provide at the moment even though IE9 is just around the bend. Give it 12 months and SharePoint will be full cross browser, its a framework that should be not browser dependant in this day and age. Steve ________________________________________ From: Daniel W.

Interesting view! I think that you are being a bit kind on SharePoint if you are suggesting that browsers have been the problem in the past. And I think you are being a bit kind on some browsers (e.g. Internet Explorer) if you are suggesting that all browsers are equal.
