4. If the demos didn't work on your computer, it means your browser doesn't support HTML 5. You should get Firefox 3.5 to make sure it works. Within 5 years, 99% of browsers will support HTML 5.

1 - yes, they both run on the local computer, but that is the only thing they have in common. With JS you download a whole script and excecute it locally. It will NEVER happen - EVER
2 - Simply NOT true. Make a simple test. Take on site with loads of traffic, and integrate one flashfile and try and load/execute a JS scriptfile locally on the same computer
You will see the difference.
3 - again, simply not true. But if that is what you belive, then it explain why you came up with that prediction.
4 - there are no browser that fully support html5 for the simple reason, html5 is still only a draft of what may come
The case for proprietary add-ons: They're better and available today
I have see this "HTML 5 is really the second coming of the internet" since the first draft came. Hell, nobody even know if its fully developed in 5 years.
Look how long it have taken to get CSS to where it is today, and its still far from complete.
