Dean Hachamovitch, IE General Manager, on HTML5 and video:
The future of the web is HTML5. Microsoft is deeply engaged in the HTML5 process with the W3C. HTML5 will be very important in advancing rich, interactive web applications and site design.
What the what? Never thought I’d read the above sentence.
Of course, this is great news. With Microsoft joining the party, both HTML5 and H.264 will jump in adoption and all users will benefit.
However, I’m a little concerned that everybody is claiming support for HTML5 as a way to fight the current leader -Adobe Flash- before trying to push their own flavor of a standard as the new champ.
