Dean Hachamovitch, general manager of Microsoft's IE group, told attendees that "We saw how HTML5 enabled a whole new class of applications,"  "We quickly realized to do it right, which is our intent, our focus was more around designing what HTML5 apps will need so they will feel more like real apps than Web pages."

INTERNETNEWS.COM  reported that to make it happen, Microsoft is relying on high-performance graphics chips and other PC hardware to accelerate the delivery of graphics, video and text so developers can begin building the most powerful and rich applications possible in HTML5.

"Developers, raise your expectations," Hachamovitch was quoted saying in the report.
