It's good to see that Microsoft's stranglehold on the browser, and therefore the web application market, is being broken. As long as their new "Smart Clients" (think Java Web-Start for an existing solution) don't take over I can see a more open web for all.

I don't see Autodesk as having much choice. Google Maps is cross browser, and it can be used for GIS applications. Google may charge for commercial usage, but obviously their cross browser support as well as their brand name is a huge selling point.
