Their PR people are also saying that they are seeking support from the open source world meaning theoretically they won't restrict access to the features of .net 3 to only IE. This is doubtful but it's what they're saying. Without even Opera and Mozilla implementing canvas 3D in the same way what chance does it have at all against the armies of .net developers who are already accustomed to building .net applications and ASP.net web pages which btw become almost interchangeable with .net 3 meaning you can build a regular application and compile it as a .net web page. My information may be a little outdated since I attended a conference about .net 3 a little over a year ago and haven't been paying much attention to the developments at Microsoft since. At least with standardized technologies the FOSS has some leverage and cause against Microsoft but creating their own proprietary technologies that even the community doesn't fully support? It's a nice experiment but I'm also going to stay very skeptical about the practicality and market penetration this is ever going to have. I think the only 3D enabling technology for web which may find more extensive use over the coming years is Flash.
