Microsoft Corp. revealed on Wednesday a project for simplifying 3-D graphics on the World Wide Web. "We want to make the Web more applicable and exciting to the (home user)," said Jim Allchin, senior vice president of Microsoft's personal and business systems group, during a keynote presentation at the Windows Hardware Engineering Conference here. Oh, I forget, now that Netscape is given up for dead, the Web is officially Windows world and this "open" stuff is inapplicable. Whatever Bill decides is needed for the "Web lifestyle" goes. I don't know why you keep bringing "open" up anyway, you think the word is meaningless. Oops, I mean bastardized. But Microsoft's plans may conflict with a current effort to create a 3-D standard for the Web. The VRML Consortium, which touts its "virtual reality markup language" as an open standard, has already released an initial VRML specification. Fools who don't know that a proprietary lock is a necessity in business. In addition, Chrome will likely be based on Microsoft's ActiveX technology -- a technology whose lack of security has frequently raised the concerns of experts. And which is well known as another of Microsoft's famous "open" initiatives. Quotes from www5.zdnet.com . Cheers, Dan.
