I am an amateur artist. Currently I am trying out ArtRage, but I too am really intrigued and amazed by Gustav. Can we somehow/anyhow have a preview version of this for testing, till you guys come up with the actual product?

Good rant Nate! I love your effort at elaboration!

Yes, a lot of cool technology has come out of Microsoft, except I don't know why many of them die a sudden death Probably because of the fact that Microsoft is trying to restrict their usage to the Windows platform. But with the web and web apps coming of age, I doubt that it is a wise decision - the OS might not remain that important and essential anymore. Time will of course tell.

While it is asking a lot of Microsoft to themselves port their applications to other platforms, it does make sense for them to play along with others when it comes to the web. 

Oops, when I asked about 3D on IE, I completely forgot about XAML I think it would be great if someone wrote a library to convert WebGL to XAML. No?

What about WebGL? Is IE9 or future browers from Microsoft ever going to support it? If not (for obvious reasons ), are you guys planning for something for 3D on IE which doesn't require a plugin?
