well. once opencl is more previlant, opencl decoding of anything is perfectly viable.
even then, the end user doesn't care if its accelerated decoding or not, they just care that it plays smooth

html was never really designed to do much more than have a single "document" that can link to other "documents" on the internet. over time dynamic ideas were tacked on such as javascript but it still has never been designed in such a way that 'app-y' ideas can be created without hacking up the 'document' model.
Thus html 5 attempts to correct this by modifying the original 'document' model so that it now supports 'documents' and 'app-y' ideas. its not evil, its progress.

Its a show stopper for me? I was looking into mobile phone development a few months ago, no native C = no open source C libraries i can use (glib/gobject/gtk/clutter etc...)
I don't want to have to reinvent the wheel over and over again in java when my C stack does it fine just now.
Mostly I just don't want my freedom of choice removed, this is supposed to be the worlds open source mobile OS, but in reality it feels just as closed off as anything else, Its their way or the highway.
Try googling it, and come up with dozens of tutorials and howtos dated variously over the past 5+ years
yeah.. wubi has not existed for anywhere near that long and basically hasn't changed since it was invented (maybe a year ago now?).
http://wubi-installer.org/ - it will install ubuntu without needing to burn a cd.
the tag that is, forgot about
Remeber - its a neat little tag that is really quite powerful in the right hands, everything supports it but internet explorer, google made a plugin for IE but still no website uses canvas because you can't ignore the fact that no IE user has it (until HTML 5 if IE stays standards complient).
I would *love* opengl ES like 3d rendering in javascript, with a fast enough javascript engine you could do some great things, at the last you could make fluid websites without the need for a flash plugin eating up cpu... but alas i feel this is doomed to the same fate as our old google canvas plugin for IE.
