[AccessD] OT: Did you just feel the Earth shift?

No, I'm not talking about the recent temblor that unnecessarily foamed
cappuccinos in L.A., but the report in the Register that IE9 will support
SVG alongside their XAML vector format.

Finally, the last huge obstacle Microsoft has placed in front of the open
standard-based web is going to be (at least partially) removed.

Add this to better CSS3 support and Microsoft's 'Chakra' Javascript
optimizations (attaining performance levels rivaling, at least in the user's
perception, many parts of the Silverlight platform), and in the IE9 era
there will be few barriers to ubiquitous web applications.
