Myspace previews design concept video. I'll believe this interface in a browser when I see it. That said, it's a nice concept.

First, the web 2.0 "craze" has already gone through its growing pains half a decade ago, we're in a different era now. Second, this is a false and misleading comparison. What started the original "best viewed with" problems of the 90s? It was largely due to the lack of compliance with standardization.
