I’m not exactly suggesting these things will happen, but they are in the realm of possibility and should be answered. I’m a skeptic at best, and I only criticize it because I want web fonts to succeed. As of late, the hot issue is fonts on the web, with font-face. To keep it simple, Font-Face allows us to upload fonts on our server so *any* font can be used, rather than just the standard set.  That said, the fonts are unprotected, so everyones in a tizzy on how to fix that (which is fine; i’d rather not deal with it, but I don’t have much of a choice). So, fast forward a few years later, Jeffery Veen leaves Veer, and creates TypeKit: a system that masks the location of your font so we can now use font-face. Sweet.  The Catch? Annual fees, limited by the participation of font foundries. In reality, although I totally dig the concept of TypeKit, it doesn’t seem like a sustainable model for delivering fonts. Realistically we should be getting our web license directly from the foundry, and in a pricing structure that makes more sense.

Normally I wouldn’t pay attention to anything Microsoft related, but as the existence of Internet Explorer has literally brought me to tears while working, I like to pay a close eye. I’ll try to keep this as unbiased as possible.

The addition of the Yahoo! logo feels out of place. And the new “Organize and Create” button does not flow with the other one word navigation buttons.
