We said it is in your interest to be aware of the capabilities of HTML5 because 
your clients are probably going to ask about it.

We didnt say you HAD to use HTML5. We said increasingly this stuff would be 
done in HTML5. Regardless of the technical merits of the technology, this is 
the reality.

We also said if you wanted to continue to use Flash doing what you do today, 
you could.

Sigh... again, we didnt say HTML5 was a better long term choice then Flash. 
Again, we did say that the reality was that a lot of the stuff that has 
traditionally only been possible via Flash, is going to be increasingly 
possible in the browser HTML5, and that increasingly it will be done via those 
technologies.

We didn't say you HAVE to use HTML5, and we didn't say HTML5 better. If you 
want to ignore HTML5 and pretend that its going to be a complete failure and 
not be widely use, that is your choice.
