Could HTML5 Kill the Need of RIA Tools like Flash , JavaFX or Silverlight ?

Most of us are already familiar with RIAs like Flash , Flex , Silverlight and JavaFX , we see these almost everywhere now , but the newly launched and much anticipated Web Standard which was being worked upon from 2003 , Finally it came up and that too with a Bang right at the face of RIA Masters , Microsoft , Sun , Adobe , How ?

Well HTML 5 has been launched with many possibilities which is now supposed to redefine the web as we know now , the title says it almost , that is , HTML is here to  put an end to RIAs like mentioned above , as it is now capable to provide the same and that too without the need of any additional plugins , that is now the web will become even more enhanced and that too without much efforts.

I Hope it does help the concept of Cloud Computing to reach a bit above further.

But whether HTML 5 and its Canvas technology will displace proprietary plug-ins “really depends on what developers do”.

Most of this is also dependent of Microsoft as its the one  being a Browser and a RIA Developer.
