Hello

It would appear that the much wanted HTML5-export method is not far away now.
Great news :D
However it left me thinking about the advantages and disadvantages of HTML5.
Of course it's great to be able to export to multiple platforms, but does it come with a price?
E.g. are there some actions or options in Opus' products that work well when exported as EXE-files but do not work when exported as HTML5?
I've found it difficult to find a comparison of the features between HTML5 and EXE, and would greatly appreciate some info about your experiences with the two export methods.

Three each way to kick off your request:

HTML5 > EXE

1. HTML5 is platform independent.

2. HTML5 code is open, allowing mash-up with other web technologies.

3. HTML5 can be server centric.

EXE > HTML5

1. HTML5 code is open - making it less secure

2. HTML5 advanced features are not universally implemented

3. HTML5 doesn't allow for easy (any) real interaction with the local machine (even if for good reason)
