Microsoft and Adobe Weigh in on HTML5 vs Flash

Microsoft weighs in as well here: Read Link

 

You may be asking yourself why this is important. Why would BestMacs want me to know about HTML5 v Flash? The answer is really bigger than the HTML5 vs Flash. Here we have all of the tech industries heavy hitters weighing in on how they feel the future of the web looks. Apple clearly wants HTML5 for their mobile devices. Microsoft now also says that HTML5 is the future. Leaving Google’s Android platform the loan supporter of flash products (unless you count the drowning webOS)

The future of the web is far from certain. Stay tuned as the drama unfolds in nerd blogs around the country. ;-)

    Mommy, Daddy, please stop fighting!

    I get the awful feeling that this is what it’s like when parents are getting a divorce. Can we get Apple and Adobe into some couples therapy?

    This is an example of what happens when a monopolist fails to innovate adequately while allowing no one to compete on their playing field. In this case, someone created a whole new game and the spectators are moving to the new venue. I think the writing is on the wall.
