Tell ya what, Rich, here's the challenge. Let's say these articles are written by misinformed bloggers (eg, Irv) and bad journalists (say Terdimann at CNet). Let's say Sam Palimpsano is a nice fellow and wants to do the right thing with the $100 million. It's easy. X3D is an ISO standard. All IBM has to do is work with ISO. They can join the Web3D Consortium if they want to, that's really cheap, or not. But working with ISO is something IBM certainly knows how to do because they pretty much invented markup working with them and everything that has followed since then came out of their investments. If they do that and work on X3D, I'll take it back. If instead they try to do what Intel and IBM did and lost, then it's time to fight them on every street corner on the WWW. len From: Richard Salz [mailto:rsalz@u...] > http://www.itnews.com.au/newsstory.aspx?CIaNID=42704&src=site-marq > This is IBM being the bad guys again.

As far as I know, our "3D Internet" efforts are going to be all standards-based, just like or WS/SOA efforts.
