Surely if it's just a matter of signing then suddenly any hacker could embed a 'bad program' on a page an get it to run locally? There must be some kind of installation method?

There must be some kind of installation method?

So you could sign a Java3D applet and it could have a local cache. Signed Java applets can access the file system (see image uploaders for various sites).

Check my most recent post ("What is Xenki?") for why it's awesome. Well, therein lies the beauty of the XBAPs. Check my most recent post (”What is Xenki?”) for why it’s awesome.

This is part of why I'm looking at pre-fabbed, predictable systems like consoles-- where there is consistent user experience. I find it funny tho, navigating the web on the console browsers is as frustrating as the desktop because of the various methods people publish in-- is it flash 6, 7, 8, 9? How come X works but X doesn't. I can't even believe TWITTER won't work on some browsers, and that's just a TEXT thing. So yeah my logic is a bit twisted. Flash might not be perfect, and the experience will vary (and not even be 'real'), but that's no different than the environment we have to deal with anway.

It has some good 2D rendering libraries however it cannot do hardware accellerated 3D, so rendering even the most modest 3D scene will cause it to crawl to a halt.

The installed user base is massive- no plugins needed, and brings a lot of players to the table who can seriously disrupt everyone. The latest version has decent support and 10 will be amazing. I've already wandered through 3D environments, and it's been fantastic. Now if Flash could become a standard, it would be even cooler. Flash.
