Mozilla and Opera Mock Microsoft’s Native HTML5 Claims
It looks like not everyone is digging the native HTML5 marketing claims from the software giant.

The only native experience of the Web of HTML5 today is on Windows 7 with IE9.

It’s good that Google Chrome does not use the very same strategy. Otherwise, we would still be waiting for the Windows 10 to finally start using it.

Internet Explorer 10: Microsoft Immersive Browser
Even though it’s April Fools Day, there has been some interesting information floating around about the upcoming (possibly IE10) web browser from Microsoft called Immersive Browser.
Before you dismiss this info as yet another joke, here is what you need to know: MS has uploaded the Windows 8 M2 (Milestone 2) build to its partners on Microsoft Connect a couple of days ago. Now obviously, once you share something with quite a few people, there is a high probability of a leak and OS screenshots (and that’s exactly what happened).
