Internet Explorer gains modicum of HTML5

Internet Explorer fans can now get a taste of the video elements in HTML5 without having to switch browsers. Through a new in-development plug-in bundled with codecs from Xiph.org, users can activate rudimentary support for OGG-formatted HTML5 video on Windows 32-bit and 64-bit computers.

Did they just say HTML 5 for IE? Is the world going to be alive tomorrow?

There are several problems that the plug-in has yet to solve to bring it up to parity with Firefox, Chrome, Safari, and the latest Opera beta, which natively support HTML5 in full. The plug-in leaves out support for H.264, lacks playback controls such as seeking, doesn't offer any HTML5 interface, and requires changing an XMLNS attribute within the < video > tag to make it work. The plug-in and installation instructions come courtesy of developer Cristian Adam.

Its a start though so you can't go wrong with having problems at first. But in time it will be fixed. (I Hope)
