Who dares Standards ?
It’s not new that Microsoft don’t make huge effort to be standard-compliant. Some famous people for the web have already argued on it. One sometimes told that was because Microsoft developers were incompetent, or due to its monopolistic situation. But in fact, Microsoft is may be these day suffering of a “dont-forget-we-are-here” after S. Jobs found Google as the new enemy. in this situation, M$ will finish being the kindest. On one side, IE team announces his wish to work more on the standards. That doesn’t already mean they will be implemented, just that Microsoft will be there, may be at LGM2010 for the SVG-day. On the other side, the Open format like ogg can now be used with some M$ applications.
Don’t say its a victory so early, but having a standard-compliant IE would ease signicatantly the work of thousands of graphi cdesigner and may be millions of webmaster in any kind.
Adobe, after the hard Jobs’s word for the fact that Flash isn’t available on Iphones and Ipads, could turn to open source to counter-attack those new comers : Flash could beavailable on Nexus One (Google).
It seems that the dance as begun and that Open Source is now a major actor in it. Let’s follow all this.
Une chose est sûre pour moi, ce n’est vraiment pas le moment d’adopter des solutions propriétaires. On voit ici de façon criante leur fragilité dans les contextes de guerres économiques. Finallement, mes sites resteront sans Flash, si ça vous va 
Alors ne crachant pas sur ces petits plaisirs.
