And even then, they are only supporting a subset of the incomplete HTML 5 specifications. I would hardly call that being out. And until IE supports it, it might as well not be out. |
For what reason? IE doesn't control the market anymore and by the time IE9 is out it HTML6 will be out. Between FireFox, Chrome, Safari, and various other browsers they control between 33% - 59% of the market mattering what statistics you look at. Since older versions of IE (6 and older) are irralevent now a days for a good chunk of the web needs at least HTML4 as the base standard I'd believe the number is closer to 59% then 33%.
Plus FF3.5 might miss some HTML5 subsets but it has enough to make use of Video Bay, and soon YouTube followed by many other websites, which uses HTML5 for all videos.
No matter what HTML5 > SilverLight (plus from what I have seen it kicks the hell out of good old Java).
