In case you weren't aware, Microsoft and Google aren't exactly seeing eye-to-eye right now. In fact, they really seem to hate one another in a public manner not normally exposed. So it should be no surprise that the two are also opposed to one another when it comes to their views of web video. Yes, it's the H.264 versus WebM debate once again. But while Google, Apple, Mozilla, Opera and others have had their say, Microsoft has remained largely quiet. Until today. Dean Hachamovitch, the man in charge of Internet Explorer for Microsoft, has taken the time to write a nearly 3,000 word piece about the situation today. It's a long, great post well worth the read. But just in case you can't make it through the entire post, I'm summarize it simply: Microsoft is fully behind H.264 as the codec for web video going forward.�Why? Because they have just as many reservations about WebM as Google all of a sudden seems to have about H.264.
