Isn't GIF like (8bit) 256color and stuff?  Then PNG and GIF are pretty different.

Quote:Microsoft has patents on the technology in JPEG XR. A Microsoft representative stated in a January 2007 interview that in order to encourage the adoption and use of HD Photo, the specification is made available under the Microsoft Open Specification Promise, which asserts that Microsoft allows implementation of the specification for free, and will not file suits on the patented technology for its implementation,[38] as reportedly stated by Josh Weisberg, director of Microsoft's Rich Media Group. As of 15 August 2010, Microsoft made the resulting JPEG XR standard available under its Community Promise.[39]


WebP has the support of Chrome and Opera already.  If Google can convince Firefox (not looking good right now), it might have a chance.
