For the first time I agree 100% with every single comment... If Microsoft were to post a comment, it would be difficult for them not to agree as well. Another plus for Microsoft will be eliminating their reliance on a proprietary Adobe plugin to provide SVG rendering in IE... Incredible! For the first time I agree 100% with every single comment…

Seeing IBM there is a no-brainer, they've been great to open source for a while now. What does it really mean for Microsoft to be a sponsor of this? Have they made some kind of commitment, or statement of intent? I remember they were a gold sponsor of ApacheCon Europe 2006, and nothing ever came of that. Brad,

Microsoft _might_ support 70% or so of SVG, and then stop - just like with html/css/javascript! /sarcasm Yay!

- SVG 1.1
- SVG SMIL Animation
- SVG Filters (WebKit is behind Firefox on this one)
- SVG in CSS Backgrounds (Firefox is behind WebKit on this one)
- SVG Fonts (Firefox is behind WebKit on this one too)

Then I’ll support Internet Explorer in my next webapp.

The only country where Dick Cheney can still be taken seriously on national security and Microsoft can still be taken seriously on the web. OK, I'm slightly buzzed so do forgive the non sequitur or whatever but come on... America, the country of second, third, fifth,…eleventieth chances.

At least this way they make it seem like they are doing something. All of the mentioned libraries wouldn’t be needed if it wasn’t for Microsoft, not sure what’s so exciting about having them there.
