Yes Kenneth, I had read it before, it is about time and it is excellent news. 8-) Here is another article on HTML5 that is worthy of reviewing: http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/does_html5_really_beat_flash_surprising _results_of_new_tests.php Add the addition news of: http://www.theage.com.au/technology/enterprise/word-excel-powerpoint--free-o n-the-web-20100315-q7g7.html ..And things are looking up.

No, I'm not talking about the recent temblor that unnecessarily foamed cappuccinos in L.A., but the report in the Register that IE9 will support SVG alongside their XAML vector format. http://www.channelregister.co.uk/2010/03/16/internet_explorer_unveiling/ Finally, the last huge obstacle Microsoft has placed in front of the open standard-based web is going to be (at least partially) removed. Add this to better CSS3 support and Microsoft's 'Chakra' Javascript optimizations (attaining performance levels rivaling, at least in the user's perception, many parts of the Silverlight platform), and in the IE9 era there will be few barriers to ubiquitous web applications. -Ken -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
