@Boz;
WebGL isn't being pushed on anyone. It's a standards based implementation of OpenGL that's designed to work as part of the HTML5 spec. It's in its infancy - it's not ready yet. If you get 7fps, maybe you don't have a decent graphics card? I was getting over 40.
Why do I think that technologies like this are good?
It's the same old story. Because they work towards creating open specifications which aren't dependent on commercial or proprietary solutions. WebGL will work within the browser, and will be able to be fully integrated with other features provided by HTML5. Any application will be able to pick up and work with the specification.
This isn't true for other 3D browser plug-ins. For example, unity3D doesn't work with Linux - will it ever work with Linux? Probably not, because they can't commercially justify it. What can people who use Linux do about it? .. pretty much nothing.
- who claimed WebGL was pushed on someone? I said pushing technology.Boz

- You're acting as if you're being forced to use WebGL now .. it's daft behaviour.lukus_W
- No.. I'm just responding to people posting example of WebGL as it is already taking the web by storm.Boz
