Microsoft to bring Avalon graphics engine to the Mac? Reports are in that at PDC (MS' developer thingie), Microsoft has shown a Mac using a WPF/E plugin in Safari. WPF is Avalon, Windows Vista's vector graphics engine, and WPF/E would be, well, a competitor to Flash, PDF and SVG. While it remains to be seen whether people really want to adopt yet another standard on the web, the demo shows that MS is theoretically able to actually make it available on more than just one platform. - posted by Patrick Armbruster @ 14:42 [article link]
