Microsoft and Apple team up?

Not directly, but Microsoft has come out in support of HTML5 instead of depending on Adobe Flash for video content on websites. Microsoft joins the already major group of companies and sites (including Apple, Google, etc.) that are moving to push HTML5 into the mainstream.

This does nothing but make Adobe’s Flash platform less desirable for web developers looking to create “The future of the web” – Dean Hachamovitch who is the head honcho of Internet Explorer says that future is rooted in HTML5.

So it sounds like Apple isn’t on some “The world will do what WE say” stuff. Microsoft jumping on the HTML5 bandwagon to me, says that Jobs, in his Flash tirade last week, has a legitimate argument for his reasons for supporting HTML5. If Apple AND Microsoft AND Google says it’s okay, it’s okay…right?

What do you think?
