Never mix what should be a simple markup language with presentation and effects. Let's stick with CSS, xhtml, and javascript as our web paradigm with some flash and silverlight sprinkled in.

However, Microsoft still has some aces up their sleeves and might make a complete comeback in the consumer market. Meanwhile, I find it to be the best business phone on the market today, making the iphone look like a piece of crap (which it is by the way with no physical keyboard...ugghh). DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE WINDOWS MOBILE 7! That's all I have to say...

It just dropped WinMo for consumer phones. Microsoft's strategy is doomed to fail. Internet Explorer is the only browser that doesn't support HTML 5. Microsoft is still trying to peddle its own proprietary formats. But it is alone. And failing in the smartphone market. The few people who buy Windows Mobile phones generally use other better browsers, not IE. We're moving into the era of online services. Of information everywhere, at our call. To achieve this, you need cross-platform services, not proprietary ones tethered to one particular browser. Microsoft will only sink further into irrelevancy.
