Hum, fells like a deja vu. And they'll pervert some standard along the way, right ? Wouldn't be fun otherwise, would it ?

You mean like -webkit-transition?

I mean like IE6 and XP. I remember Microsoft marketing their deep integration (not to mention ActiveX). End result, we still suffer IE6 to this day. I don't mind tight web integration, as long as it respect standards and and extensions are ... explicit extensions. Because we'll probably suffer IE10 for many years to come .... Let's hope it will be standard compliant (I don't hold my breath though).

I see your point but I think that's a bit different, mozilla and webkit do that as a way of providing css features that should eventually make their way into standard CSS ... Microsoft has this bad habit of doing things totally different and trying to force them on everybody.

The html5/javascript thing sounds really exciting though. Lets see what happens.
