I don't know if I'm the typical user | of SVG/Flash, but this kind of productions (e.g. animated technical | education, illustration of products) are well more then 50% of my work. Well, I have Flash plugin installed, but *disable* this plugin when browsing, as Flash content requires unnecessary bandwidth usage (and I want to avoid this) But overhead with Adobe's SVG plugin (Windows/MS IE) is even more than with Flash. So, market is not limited by itself - it's close to *non-existant* state at a moment. I think someone from Macromedia (see article on C-Net about SVG 1.1 release) said that Flash installed on 98% of desktops, and SVG - on less than 1%. I tend to agree with these numbers. Besides, existing SVG implementations tend to be too heavy, so you can't install SVG "on demand" unless you have high-speed broadband connection. Does some seriously think that SVG would be able to compete twith Flash in nearest feature? If so - than pls explain *how*. I am very curious on opinions about this.
