details one this project. Apparently, Redmond is working with Google, Hookflash and others on this. Once completed, this new communication method would allow desktop, tablet and smartphone users the ability to chat with each other without the need to install any third-party plugins. Obviously, video chatting in a web browser is already possible right now, but that entails installing dedicated software and a multitude of files that might slow down the browser and impact the overall performance when using it. Microsoft Open Technologies even released a prototype version for developers not too long ago, which shows how this new technology could work and how to implement it in their solutions. Things are still in early stages right now, but this is an innovative idea, all things considered.]]>

It seems to me that HTML5 could solve this issue, and Google is supposed to be demanding that sort of thing from Microsoft regarding a YouTube app, as I recall. I wonder if this chat plan works if we’ll eventually see YouTube on WP, etc?
