Microsoft wiped out all of their competitors.

Comes 1793 tells anyone all they need to know about Microsoft's attitude to partners - in this case, Novell. It's a shame that e-mail hasn't been put in front of the jury in this case.

WebGL allows use of the 3D acceleration facilities from within the web browser. Javascript is a truly horrible language, but it is fast enough to make an efficiently designed 3D engine work.

I don't foresee any serious game developers doing that though. I *can* see them migrating to OpenGL ES driven by platform-independent native C/C++ code. That gives them access to the Mac, iPad, Linux, Android with small platform-specific middleware in each case, and without sacrificing language features or CPU performance. Or, for AAA titles, OpenGL 3+ instead of OpenGL ES - that loses the mobile platforms but gives fuller support for high- end features in the DX10/11 vein.

Incidentally, Freespace 2 made the leap from Direct3D to classic OpenGL some time ago. Now it's being ported to OpenGL ES, which mostly involves working around all of the old-school things that aren't supported - but the ES ways of doing things are generally better anyway.

MFC

This makes me mad. I invested my time in mastering MFC, and now it is no longer supported. A year ago or so I stepped up from MSVC 6 and Windows XP to Windows 7 and VS2008. I soon discovered I could no longer compile and link my old MFC projects. VS2008 no longer has the Class Wizard. I'm sure there must be a way to at least build an existing project, but I have not found it yet. I am sorry to say I forget what kind of error I get - I forgot. So far anyhow I haven't had a compelling need, fortunately. There have now been two new compilers since the version I have, but since I am not in to .Net or HTML, I have no interest in them I only do C++.
