You guys are acting like HTML5 is a Apple production, made to make up for the lack of Flash.
It's not. It's an industry-wide movement:

With the arrival of IE9, MS has a new cross-platform framework for development. As it happens, it's a very fast framework--HTML5 is optimized for speed in ways previous platforms weren't.

Windows 8 apps use the power of HTML5, tapping into the native capabilities of Windows using standard JavaScript and HTML to deliver new kinds of experiences. These new Windows 8 apps are full-screen and touch-optimized, and they easily integrate with the capabilities of the new Windows user interface.

HTML5 could eventually become the platform that all apps, whether for mobiles or for PCs, are written on. "It's taken 20 years because the underlying standards had to evolve from the proprietary Mac and Windows platforms. But they have both adopted HTML5 as a future direction. So that means in future a lot of apps will be running in HTML5 in both mobile and non-mobile form." (That's interesting because it implies that we'll be platform-agnostic.)

One developer says that the quality of the apps on the platform is really surprising — in a good way, naturally. Apparently, there are going to be a ton of games that will be a part of the Spartan launch. This shouldn’t be too surprising, HTML5 gaming has been something Facebook has been pushing. And Zynga is believed to be heavily involved in the project.
