Your right Rick, there is some concern. But XAML is a publicly published API. For Microsoft to get upset about our XAML Clone would be shooting themselves in the foot. We're just trying to provide some XAML functionality until the Microsoft implementation arrives for XP. Even if they did want to 'dispense' with us, it would only affect the XAML clone and not our XAML authoring or SVG products. For those who don't know. The entrire 'Shapes' and to a lesser extent 'Animation' sub sections of the XAML spec is essentially SVG. You can split hairs if you want about who wrote the spec, but it is basically the same syntax with different case....
