Microsoft release Bing HTML5!

Well mainly. When you see it you'll know...

But a couple of specific things right off:

1) When you scroll the results page down, the bing menu bar at the top morphs and stays in place rather than scrolling off screen.

2) When you select a "related" search option on the left, a fast accellerated fade takes place with the content of the entire page.

Nope, don't have either of those. I don't see any link to update to the HTML5 version either.

I posted two screenshots earlier in this thread, check them out and compare.
You can't really figure out if you have the HTML5 version until you actually do a search. Like I said already, the main difference is the transition between the pages, the search type and the whole left sidebar that stays "pinned" to the page while you scroll down the search results.

As of this morning, my Bing is no longer HTML5, lol. MS needs to publicly announce a rollout date.

Microsoft's 'C3' next-gen platform for HTML-based applications

Sorry if this is a double post.

Beyond the browser: Microsoft's 'C3' next-gen platform for HTML-based applications

By Mary Jo Foley | April 25, 2011, 7:21am PDT

Must a traditional Web browser be the primary way to interact with and navigate a Web application?

Microsoft researchers think the answer is no. They are building another option — ‘C3,’ an extensible platform for HTML-based applications. Along with University of Washington researchers, Microsoft researchers will show off C3 at the WebApps’11 conference this June in Portland, Oreg.

(C3 may stand for “cloud computing client,” one of my contacts said.)
Word of the existence of C3 emerged last November when researchers posted a technical paper, entitled “Verified Security for Browser Extensions.” That paper made mention of C3, which researchers called “a new platform for HTML5 experimentation developed entirely in a type-safe, managed language,” specifically C#. (They also subsequently referred to C3 in that paper as “a research Web browser.”)

There’s a bit more information available now about C3 (though the full WebApps’11 paper on it is not yet available). From one of the University of Washington researcher’s description:

“We present C3, an implementation of the HTML/JS/CSS platform designed for web client research and experimentation. C3 introduces novel extension points and generalizes existing ones, creating simpler and more powerful opportunities for customization. In addition, C3’s typesafe, modular architecture lowers the barrier to web and browser research. We discuss and evaluate C3’s design decisions for flexibility, and provide examples for various extensions that we and others have built.”

Now I feel like I cheated on people by posting this thread! I don't even have bing in HTML5 anymore either xD

Microsoft seriously needs to announce a rollout date!
