I agree and disagree.

The media components still need some tinkering. Hell, Firefox is convinced that Ogg is the way to go whereas everyone else thinks h.264 is the way to go. I lean towards h.264 because I don't see the point of "open" video codecs. I have VLC and it makes everything "open".

I agree in that it's not ready because not many companies have started shifting to it.


However, this is a side argument compared to flash being killed. Lots of sites already run flash alternatives for both videos and content.
