This document discusses upcoming features in Silverlight and Internet Explorer. It highlights new features for XAML, media playback, applications, tooling and performance improvements. Examples of new features include XAML debugging with breakpoints, implicit data templates, double click support, GPU accelerated 3D and 2D APIs, improved audio and printing support, and significant performance enhancements. The document also discusses Microsoft's approach to supporting HTML5 features in Internet Explorer 9 and 10 through implementations of specifications like ECMA Script 5, Canvas, SVG and others.

Microsoft is actively engaged with three large standards organizations: W3C, IETF and ECMA International. Each organization is divided into Working Groups.
Taking the HTML5 Working Group as an example, Paul Cotton (Microsoft Corp) is a co-chair of the group – we’ve been leading this space for many years!In addition to Paul, more than 16 people from Microsoft are working just on this working group – plus many others involved in other WGs.
Building a standard is like planning a building. You go through different steps and it’s important to plan all levels carefully – or you risk to hit issues along the road.
If we look at the broad spectrum, today there are more than 100 specifications that fall under the “HTML5” umbrella. As you can see, all of them follow a different status.Some of them are mature (Recommendation), some are still work in progress (Working Draft) and some just submitted (First Published WD)As we will see later, with Internet Explorer we wanted to provide an interoperable implementation of these standards – with clear expectations and deliverables for the developer community.
Microsoft has three channels:IE9 is all about “Site Ready HTML5”. It’s based on a stable and interoperable implementation of HTML5. It offers the best experience to Windows users, thanks to the native hardware acceleration support.IE Platform Previews focus on under development features. With PP, we wanted to be transparent with the community over the internal progress – allowing them to provide feedbacks and us to act on these feedbacksHTML5 Labs are about emerging standards that still require more time and further analysis before they can be safely and interoperably adopted across browsers.

At this point, there should be no doubt that Microsoft is seriously committed to HTML5. Today you can start building HTML5 applications on top of IE9, leveraging the hardware acceleration and the integration with Windows 7.With Mango, (the same!) IE9 will be available to Windows Phone 7 devices.On Windows 8, you will be able to build Windows applications using HTML5 and JavaScript.Come to the Build conference (www.buildwindows.com) in September to learn more about the new exciting Windows8 platform.
