SVG vs. XAML vs. VML vs. ???

SVG Guys I have a problem! Every time when I open Blend and try to made something beautiful, the result is "beautiful" (read this: something more like ugly)

And than I considered that I have some psychological problem. I can't give away just like that from technologies that are familiar for me, and to run for new technologies. Ether in my nature I'm always curious for new things, but sometimes that isn't the case. So I'll come out of closet and say it loud:

Why MS, why, first SVG vs. VML, and now SVG vs VML and vs. XAML ????

Until when? Isn't SVG one already a pre-existing W3C standard for vector graphics which is supported in most modern browsers except Internet Explorer?

Has anyone know the list of all browser that are in common use all over the word, and platforms?

I hope that Silverlight will be the only plugin that my clients will need to download and to run their business world wide without any limitations. 

After little research, I fond one playmate Jon Galloway, and he has the same thoughts read this and you'll get the idea.

FYI I didn't have setup versions, nether test environments for all this OS and browsers mentioned above, I use only one cool service (http://browsershots.org) that provides you with screen shouts for desired URL from most used clients combination of OS / Browser. Just look this list:
