As we look at the start of SMIL we see how it has advanced to present day with the release of SMIL 3.0. Still one of the leading software’s in presentation and software development alongside multi storage and saving as SMIL 3.0 still works with XML base language which is similar to XHTML + Time a language used by leading browser platforms such as IE 8 and Firefox. The New SMIL 3.0 has increased the standard of improving not only presentation but audio and video, along with animation features and fast interactive interface, which can be used with multimedia language software’s like Microsoft Windows Office suit, and Pascal. So with the top two internet browser giants like Mozilla Firefox, and Internet Explorer the new SMIL 3.0 has incorporated and kept up with the software writing and advancements these two Browser giants use.

Mozilla Firefox 3.0

Well let’s see the New Mozilla Firefox is a long awaited Web Browser that is used by regular internet web surfers for its unique design and easy web serving. Now the Mozilla Firefox 3.0 has been in the works for some time. What’s in store for the Mozilla Firefox Users, well a more efficient Browser then before with easy navigation to web sites. Such as bookmark dialog is now integrated into the URL bar the dialog box now has a cancel button along with a remove bookmark upgrade at the top of the dialog box, which gives a better way to pop up more than one tab and keep surfing a better download speed with larger broad band usage. Along with the ability to download an item into cache, while you search or create a folder to place the download. As well a better way to tweak your outlook and ways you want Firefox 3.0 to be your web browser, allowing the user to modify the appearance and way the browser performs and handles web pages, downloads and bookmarks not to mention security and privacy. Mozilla is authorized by the W3C to implement a software language compatible to all other Programs their main focus was to upgrade their Software Browser and make it more secure from harmful maul ware and Trojans on the Internet that could download onto personal computers. It is believed that if SMIL followed along with the BETA release packages Mozilla Fire fox gave out they should be able to work with the Browser, even Mozilla Fire Fox when finally released may give SMIL along with other software companies a patch to be able to use their software inattentively as it was designed to perform. Mozilla knows not adapting and allowing SMIL software to run is like not allowing SVG.

Internet Explorer 8 (IE8)

Well since the internet was first introduced Microsoft Internet Explorer has been used. It has had a long integrated history of a web browser but as technology advances and software changes are being made new Web Browsers have to evolve and Internet Explorer is no exception to this rule. The new IE8 is in the appearance of the previous model of IE7 in some ways but also has the appearance of IE 6 when it comes to category bars. But with a few more add-ons, its broadband is unlimited, its user interface is easy to use and navigate through, it has many new tabs and appearance along with easy to navigate pop up menus, They have made it easy for a user to tweak the apperence how it handles alot of the web Brozer and how it performs, Security was the biggest task of this Browser but also making it easy to use such as easy to copy paste to any Microsoft software product like word pad, notebook, address book, and Microsoft office suit 2008. IE8 was designed for DOM and CCG graphics to make a compatible user interface for its two oldest clients. In previous years the IE packages were not so user friendly to the DOM and CCG. So SMIL 3.0 is on the board and IE8 has been released only one BETA test to allow software companies and web Masters to help integrate this software. SMIL in previous years had a problem with compatibility to the IE 7 and IE 6 platforms, and they had to create SMIL 3.0 to keep up with the evolution of the Web Browsers as they advanced in the technical growth. But to some credit SMIL 3.0 works well with the older interface of the IE7 package and the new IE 8 platform is based upon the IE7 design, so if they have caught the IE8 BETA they could have already adapted to the new Web Browser. In truth the Browser should be ready and SMIL 3.0 can probably adapt to the XHTML + Time Platform as before, with a Patch.

5. W3C Standard Report on Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL 3.0)

Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL, pronounced “smile”) 3.0 Draft since its first release with the W3C on December 21st 2006, it has come a long way with many changes since its previous programs of SMIL 2.0 and its upgrades of SMIL 2.1. And we see that the new release of SMIL 3.0 has been integrated to service a larger variety of Synchronized Multimedia Integrated Languages not only comp based but as well as Portable hand held devices such as Cell phones, Black Berries, and even Game Machines.

The Main Differences of the new Draft of SMIL 3.0

• Well many upgrades have been added to this new package the last release date was in July 13th 2007. This was the last working draft of SMIL 3.0 and from there to then many changes was made to present working Draft release on January 15th 2008. And a new look and interface is just a fraction of the picture of the software.
• So the changes are based upon the new Vista Program and its many components of web Browsers such as IE 8 or Mozilla Firefox 3.0 platform. All in which effect a large variety of Integrated Multimedia Language services such as DOM, CCG Hotmail, Java, and of course SMIL 3.0.
• The changes of this magnitude are based upon the Microsoft working order if they are still drafting and beta testing Internet Explorer 8 and still do not have the bugs worked out of Windows Vista it would explain the constant upgrading of SMIL 3.0 trying to compensate for the works of IE 8.
• Not to Mention that Mozilla Fire Fox 3 has had its work cut out as well for they too have been changing allot of the platform works of their browser trying to keep both Windows XP users happy and now Windows Vista Users Happy.
• Long of the short SMIL 3.0 has to be constantly upgraded to meet the demands and rewrites of both popular Browsers and Both Windows Programs.

New Features of SMIL 3.0

Unlike its old programs SMIL 3.0 is written to adapt to 3 levels of Windows the old system of 98 platforms, Xp Platforms, and of course the new Windows Vista. But even though they have developed this integration into their languages you have to be running XP Professional or Windows Vista to experience the full potential of SMIL 3.0. As we see crisper Graphics more boost in clarity of Audio not to mention multi pages and scripting. The ability to open up page in page boxes, and even a Video clip why still browsing the web. As SMIL 3.0 is brought to us we can only sit back and enjoy using this software in our everyday lives, as our cell phones can now surf the web, and play MP3 music files, or watch full length movies on a cell phone. We have the ability to integrate with more than one resource at a time or even contact. The adaptation of Windows Messengers and thus Yahoo, and MSN Messengers. Just to give examples of how this simple Product has changed the lives we live in.

Since the first talk of Internet Explorer 8 hit the table on the W3C over a year ago, many aspects aroused in what to expect from IE8.  Well some of its features are the same as IE7 but they enhanced it so that you can actually work with offline programs and save web page information in the shape to software like Microsoft Windows Office Suit 2008. The browser experience is greater than before, and they have adapted other browsers like Firefox capability and OPRAH to max their enhancement. Given with the right software it makes for a great Service package and can be a most easy tool when doing presentation or research.

So what is in store for IE8 and SMIL 3.0?

When we look at SMIL 3.0 we see a powerful Presentation Software package that is not only developed to give a powerful performance but can be adapted for other languages of software out there for instance DOM, Java, HTML and so forth. With the right Browser features such as the New Internet Explorer 8 SMIL 3.0 can reach new Heights and explore the new age of the web and software’s.  Internet Explorer 8 has integrated features that allow it to work with DOM, and HTML + Time, along with SMIL 3.0. Though IE8 will only be a helpful software tool for the improvements of many software packages including SMIL 3.0 it will also help improve the experience of SMIL 3.0 when it comes to practical everyday use, from our cell phones to our Computers, and gives a great presentation to the ongoing business world of today. IE 8 and SMIL 3.0 is a winning combination and when IE 8 is fully released and not into Beta testing the Users of web pages using SMIL 3.0 will see how effective IE 8 works. One of the great advantages of SMIL 3.0 is that it has had time to implement the Language of IE 8, since SMIL 3.0 has been released. While IE 8 has been in draft longer then SMIL 3.0 there should be no problems of the integration. And IE 8 is allowing software and web Masters to fraction with the new IE8 package even in its Beta Version. Given of course that SMIL 3.0 will have adapted to the IE8 program, although the new SMIL 3.0 looks promising and that IE 8 is integrating its systems towards security and user interface, it will be great to see the two works together.

IE 8 and SMIL 3.0

Well as long as SMIL and IE work on the ongoing fraction of the World Wide Web and work somewhat together on projects as the W3C recommends go forward in one direction and no fractioning into splinters. So as long as SMIL 3.0 has worked out the bugs with XHTML + Time then there will be no problems of it being able to adapt to the IE 8 Platform. And as long as the ongoing production of the ever fast growing reliability of the World Wide Web continues from independent and Business type people then SMIL and the Internet Explorer Browser will be around for a long, long time.
