>>HTML 5 is very cool, but it's World Dominance is greatly exaggerated.
None the less I am boning up on HTML5 CSS3 JS etc. MS is betting heavily on HTML5 (Windows 8 is going to have a HTML5/CSS3/JS based UI) as is Google. Right now, according to my (extremely unscientific) estimates about 40-60% of the browser market supports at least some of the HTML5 spec (Basically everything except IE8 and below). Not to mention that XP's EOL is 04/14 so it is not that far off. I have been playing with Adobe Edge, the HTML5 animation tool and it is pretty freaking impressive at to what it can do with HTML/CSS/JS. It is a lot like Flash Pro. G!
