Nah it'll be round for a few years yet, there's still people out there running IE6, and then there is the issue with HTML5, no real standard has been agreed on, for video it's either OGG Theora (which Google, Mozilla and Opera support but MS and Apple don't) or H264 (which MS, Google and Apple support but Mozilla and Opera don't).
