I've heard Microsoft will be pushing their own vector animation format
called Direct Animation. It's built into Explorer 4.0. Maybe Flash
will support this format?

Hi everyone,

Is MM moving in the right direction? Let's hope so.

'But considering the momentum behind
Macromedia's Flash, could we look there for a
standard? Does the fact that Macromedia
became a member of the W3C last month tell
us anything? It wouldn't be surprising to see
Netscape incorporate Flash as a native format
in its browser, and Microsoft has been touting
structured graphics as an integral feature of
Internet Explorer 4.0. Could we be seeing the
beginnings of a standards showdown, much
like the current OpenType versus TrueDoc
dilemma surrounding downloadable fonts?'

The above is a quote from Jeffrey Veen in a new article at WebMonkey:
Vector Graphics - Image Format of the Gods?
