So great, Inkscape SVGs are renderable in Inkscape, and really simple ones will work in Firefox and Opera. Whoopdee-doo.
Just out of curiosity, I opened the native Inkscape (0.47) version of a logo I'm working on in Firefox (Linux, v3.5.5). It rendered beautifully. Same with Opera v9.63. The art has ~50 paths with more than 600 nodes each (largest ones around 3000 nodes each), transparency and blur filter effects, linear color blends and I'm pretty sure I've got a couple of radial blends in there as well. So, what's all this f*cking nonsense about "really simple ones will work in Firefox and Opera?"

There was an old quip I used to hear from auto racing folks a couple of decades ago...
Q. How do you make a million bucks in racing?
A. Start out with two million.

Here you go:
In a proprietary project if your boss says "do this" you either do it or find another job.
No, what's much more common in the proprietary world is that you tell your boss "Say, we really need to fix this code before it costs us customers or becomes a security risk" and your boss replies, "Listen, Ace, as soon as you become CFO you can initiate that little project and go explain to our stockholders why we blew $54 million retasking 1,200 of our people to rewrite something we should have coded properly 10 years ago . But until the time you're named CFO, Ace, the Marketing and Accounting Departments dictate the shots. And they're happy with the new-customer-to-lost-customer ratio. Now, go get me coffee."
Real-world examples:
Microsoft's ActiveX (security experts first pointed out how dangerous it was in a networked environment way back in '94; it remains unfixed 15 years later despite an average of one new major ActiveX exploit-in-the-wild per month since then).
IBM's Lotus Notes (which IBM cheerfully refused to do anything about until 2007 despite it creating an entire cottage industry of Websites chronicling its many failures; finally God Himself intervened and threatened Sam Palmisano with enternal damnation unless he did something about it)
Adobe Creative Suite (which, in each subsequent Windows version, becomes less compatible with SMB and spends more and more CPU cycles attempting to find unauthorized copies of itself on your network and fewer cycles focusing on the task you just gave it.

You might want to forward your question(s) to these folks:
I don't have any affiliation with Wilson, and I don't do Internet in the field, but their cellphone amps and antennas have enabled me to establish voice service with cellular towers many miles further away than what I normally could when I'm out doing nature photography in remote parts of the U.S. Southwest. Their gear is also said to be popular with long-haul truckers who need cellular access in remote areas. They may just be able to recommend a setup (typically an amplifier/antennna combo) that will put you in business for terrestrial 2G/3G services. Do note that even with my kit, I still find black holes; they're just not as huge as they would be with a non-amplified phone.

Not like IBM's "version" of OpenOffice is free. Its proprietary and costs you money...

So, Moonlight 1.0.1 won't display stuff created for Moonlight 1.0.0? It's not even backwards compatible through a point-point release difference?
Even more impressive.
Moonlight is always hot on their heels [tirania.org].
I've got Moonlight 1.0.1 installed with Firefox 3.5 on Fedora and so far, I've not been able to find a single Silverlight/Moonlight demo which will work, even when I go to a Moonlight 1.0-specific demo site.
Most things just display that silly "Install Microsoft(R) Silverlight(TM)" button. Other demos don't even get that far.
Impressive. Truly impressive.
