I think as long as browsers start implementing HTML5 now, we could actually see widespread adoption by 2012-2013. Which is reasonable. But we'll always have IE slowing that adoption down ;).
Anyways, as long as there's a large enough backlash to this roadmap, I'm hoping the process can be sped up by at least a few years.
- iigs 18y agoSomebody should just make a HTML5 ActiveX control so we can all just get on with life. After reading this: http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20080819-mozilla-drags-ie-into-the-future-with-canvas-element-plugin.html http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20080819-mozilla-drags-... I think the right solution for living with IE is just to use it as a vehicle for modern web experience plug-ins. Give people the chance to download the plug-ins when they visit your site and before too long enough sites are doing it that it's like java or flash, in that enough people have it that you can expect it to be there. On the other hand downloading 234234234 plugins for IE is going to reduce the public's reservations about plugins and they'll end up with a lot more spyware and other network gremlins, but that's the fate they've chosen, I guess.
