The question is will they catch up? After 8 releases of their browser, its still the most hated browser on the planet. They're too busy creating their own standard instead of supporting the approved standard (ie WWW consortium).
 
i don't understand... a browser that prevents xss is that the gist of the article?
i thought it was going to do something useful and revolutionary.

what they aren't telling you is that they will announce some new proprietary online office service which is only browsable via gazelle (due to security paranoia) and thereby they achieve vendor lock-in of their saas. don't say i didn't warn you...

True but not always the case Mozilla and others are also guilty of this. The trailing comma issue in JSON objects is a case in point. HTML5 and canvas is going to take the browser to a new level. We are entering a world where the browser will be the OS.

I am not sure I actually mind much that M$ is out there trying to catch up. It diverts attention of the hackers, spamsters and other miscreants in their direction, does it not?
 
Who wants to get locked into a M$ browser again? Sorry, but those days are over.
 
Is this MS way of saying that IE actually sucks? Surely the "great" IE could do all this....

I'm not really impressed with HTML5 really. Everything that HTML5 hopes to "fix" in the internet work has already been "hacked out" currently. Looking at flex, silverlight and GWT - we already have online applications that run like processes. HTML5 might make it easier for the devs (and more secure perhaps) but it wont be as changing to the web as we'd think.

HTML5 will be supported natively.
