@aristophrenia - True. There are a lot of sites that have done benchmarks and comparisons, and HTML5 (which isn't even an official finalized standard yet!!) is not a panacea, and won't be by the time it is finalized, at which point there will be enough deviations made by each vendor (Apple, Microsoft, etc)...
Flash has improved. I do thank Apple for helping urge Adobe on, but Apple's antics are only going to, if they haven't already, backfired. Microsoft knew better when they opted to remain polite while siding with Apple. And Microsoft has a direct competitor to Flash, known as "Silverlight", which is really the only reason MS took a stance. MS doesn't care about anything except what benefits Microsoft, but will side with others over mutual competition. Microsoft's politeness was impressive and mature. I appreciated that, for given the Adobe/Apple relationship up to this year, one would have expected Microsoft to be the immature one.
