Microsoft is excellent at producing software that ticks feature boxes. Anyone who remembers magazine reviews of Excel vs Lotus 123 will remember the relentless way MS would improve in the comparison tables in every release until suddenly they were ahead. The same thing happened in the original browser wars.
The problem is that Microsoft has never been good at choosing which feature boxes need ticking themselves.
But now they have decided to care about list of features called "HTML5" they should be able to push things forward well. (I'm hoping anyway. And I'm hoping "Canvas" makes that feature list)
