Additionally, Microsoft was on record saying they believed plugins like Silverlight provided sufficient 3d capabilities, and that WebGL was huge surface area for security vulnerabilities.
They've apparently reversed that stance.
- mey 13y agoSince Windows 8, MS has reversed it's stance on Silverlight and browser plugins in general. I don't disagree with Microsoft's point in this article. http://blogs.technet.com/b/srd/archive/2011/06/16/webgl-considered-harmful.aspx http://blogs.technet.com/b/srd/archive/2011/06/16/webgl-cons... I assume that they've decided to work towards solving the security issues instead of simply staying away from the issue. Long term I hope this means more stable and reliable video drivers :)
