A recent thread on the SeaMonkey newsgroup
had a gal wanting to try out an HTML5 demo page.
If you have any interest in participating in the future of the Web, brace yourself.
from the Usenet Archive -- MCBastos
(Besides the software requirements, note the hardware requirements.)
NB M$'s 6-month monkeywrenching of the Linux device driver supply chain
(which I have mentioned here recently) is also a factor touched on lightly there.
Only ONE guy who responded to the thread could see everything on the page.
from the Usenet Archive -- Ray_Net
(Note well the vintage of the OS he is running.)
On a somewhat similar Web-related topic:
Anyone who hasn't been unconscious for a decade knows that
M$ does NOT backport their "innovations" to earlier versions of Windoze.
You may have encountered sites that use M$ Silverlight for video.
Win9x will NEVER have the ability to view those videos.
Interestingly, an Open Source Software implementation of that M$ technology
exists for Linux.
http://google.com/search?q=intitle:Moonlight+Silverlight
Mono/Moonlight development lags behind M$'s version, but at least it does exist.
