Microsoft Liquid Motion was a product from Microsoft to create Java animations. It was based on technology acquired from Dimension-X.^[1] A beta was released in 1998,^[2] and version 1.0 was released soon thereafter to compete with Macromedia Flash. The product was eventually discontinued by Microsoft in 2000 due to lack of popularity.^[3][4] Since Liquid Motion created Java-based animations, they were cross-platform and browser-independent.
