>Back in March I attended an all day event in Milwaukee. It was sponsored by the Milwaukee .NET user group and included presentations by some pretty senior guys at MS. One of them was Mads Kristensen, a Program Manager on the Web Platforms and Tools team, which serves the developer tools and browser groups but is not part of either of them. In his role he has key involvement in HTML5. The way he put it was that he is responsible for insuring that Microsoft is involved in the HTML5 standard and adheres to it, even if specific products are not yet 100% compliant. I took that to be directed at IE. For sure I came away with the impression that HTML5 is something I should be paying attention to.

Yepp. One of the funny things is that XAML can be ported rougly into most GUI kits as it is just data -
no comparison to the chin-ups necessary under DOS and Win32.
Layout, base control type, Tooltip etc should be enough for 85% of biz functionality.
