Microsoft and SVG - this isn't happening

I was involved in architecting a web platform which inclded dynamic graphing back in 2000. I chose SVG as the obvious solution. Obvious because no proprietary buy-in, complete browser integration, very healthy developer community. For the entire length of the project (2000 - 2002) I was amazed that a search for "SVG" on the Microsoft site returned only 2 or 3 results - always in an indirect context.

It was clear to me that a door had been shut at a very high level back then, I'm not surprised to hear that their current policy still leans the same way.
