Thanks for the report. As you saw, IE doesn't currently support WebGL, the
3D graphics library for browsers, but the Chrome Frame plugin installs
WebGL. A few days ago Google announced that as of next January Chrome Frame
will no longer be available. I hope that by that time Microsoft will have
changed its mind about WebGL. There is a lot of excitement in the computer
graphics and web design communities about WebGL, so presumably there's
increasing pressure on Microsoft about this.
