Do you think it will be part of Win8? They seem to be much faster in development than usual.

Looking good, hope the developer tools catch up and make HTML5 as easy to dev for as Silverlight.

Meanwhile... are they actually going to allow those of us who can't live with it, to disable the font-rending introduced in IE9 and return to being able to read what is on the screen ??

Now we just need some text-shadow goodness. And I'm happy.
