I think it would be really cool if we could use Managed DirectX on a web page. Being able to leverage our skillset in DirectX on a web page seems like a logical next step.
Anyone else agree?
Look into the Windows Presentation Foundation. Its not quite the same as what you're looking for, but its along the same lines. It allows you to develop much richer graphical apps that can run in the browser as well as on the client.

You're right Reza. I found this video, http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=A150BC28-A99C-420E-8DF9-181FCE0A4696&displaylang=en , on the windows presentation foundation that actually gives an example of a 3D window inside of IE.
I'll read up on it some more; maybe there's some type of beta download material I can tryout on my web site?

Well it didn't take long to track down the downloads for this nifty technology. Looks like the Windows Presentation Foundation is also known as "WinFx" which apperently has been renamed to or included in the .Net framework 3.0 architecture. I'm going to download the OS and development environments and give it a test run this weekend.
Here's a link in case anyone is interested:
