IE7 got rid of DirectAnimation, which is basically DirectX in IE, since IE4.

And now there's WebGL.

And other features like

- DirectMusic (MIDI support)

- VRML (which is basically SVG)

- dHTML+TIME (animiation support)

- page transition effects

- render doc/ppt/xls in html

- .htc as web components

VRML (which is basically SVG)

Not really; VRML was a 3D modeling language, while SVG is for 2D images/animations.
