Well all M$ have to do is make it difficult for their next browser to support either of Adobe's technologies, which will be a stupid move but anythings possible, then XAML will be out in force.
Whatever happens there gonna be a lot of people out rewriting all their software. Whens Firefox having SVG support? This year or next? Basically, it’s a total mess and needs sorting out, hopefully we will hear soon so we know what to do. -----Original Message----- From: svg-developers@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of welkerpaul Sent: 18 April 2005 17:26 To: svg-developers@yahoogroups.com Subject: [svg-developers] Re: Adobe to buy Macromedia --- In svg-developers@yahoogroups.com, Don Demsak <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > This news goes to show how scared Adobe is of Microsoft's Avalon and > XAML.

In the immediate future there will be more developers tasting avalon than svg had editors (and observers together). Naturally, there will more developers dealing with xaml than dealing with pdf at some point of time. I've no doubt we'll see Illustrator exporting to xaml unless ms inexplicable stops working tomorrow;-) It's truly not solely my point of view, nonetheless the groups/svg- developers will get me under attack for the loud interruption.. Whata noise? XML wins;-) Paul ----- To unsubscribe send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -or- visit http://groups.yahoo.com/group/svg-developers and click "edit my membership" ---- Yahoo!
