who cares if it's 6, 7 8... they all suck. MS is such a lame company, their motto is "let's make it our own thing and smash/kill the others original ideas"
- sorry but they are so lame, ms = mono technocracy– spraycan

reading the arstechnica article helped a bunch. seems like they're at least doing a better job in being transparent about outstanding features and a timeline of getting them implemented. lets hope it's not derailed. it's weird, these days it seems like microsoft is doing a much better job at being forthright than their main OS competitor... Win Phone 7 looks damn hot, their HP-powered tablet looks f*in hot and maybe (?) they're browser will be at least up to par.
- and me, a mac user feels this way. can't believe it almost.– jpea

8 versions in and they still couldnt get it right.
I wish they would stop making browsers.
- since 2003 (init release of Safari) there have been 11 updates to IE vs 33 for safari.– zarkonite1/5

It says they are "excited" about HTML 5. So why are they not even planning comprehensive support for it?
According to Arstechnica, despite the support for video there was "no mention of support" for many other HTML 5 technologies, such as Canvas, web workers, geolocation, at all. So this awesome new browser that won't be available for another year and won't be adopted until a few years...*still won't support many of the key elements of HTML 5. Other companies are enthusiastically adding support - with Microsoft it seems you need to hold a gun to their head to get them to do it.
Don't get me wrong, it's nice they are working on getting performance up to par with competitors. You can see on the benchmarks demo this future version of IE is *almost as good as the current working versions of Chrome, Safari and Opera when it comes to JS performance.
- One day they'll won't be so dominant anymore and then they'll listen... in the meantime let the billions pour in.– zarkonite

And they are proud of this? Last time i checked a 55 was a big FAIL. Safari get 100%, Firefox gets 94%. I know its beta, but dont put this up, its embarrassing.
- Me says basic reading say 95%, not 55. Where you get number?– ETM1/3

  I think it was updated, it was 55 at one point....– ArmandoEstrada3/3

You whipper snappers forget that it was IE who pulled internet browsing from the brink of collapse borne of Netscape's utter ineptitude - back in the day IE 4 - 5.5 were God-sent.
The JS engine in this IE9 beta sure seems fast and the letterspacing demo works a lot better than in Chrome or FF.
Of course, I don't at all doubt that MS have cherrypicked the tests... very honest of them to keep the Acid test out thee in the open like that.
Just a shame that I don't appear to be able to use the beta demo outside that test garden.

  i dont know the full story but if you're here brownsing the net is partly because of netscape...– spraycan4/7

I'm on a Mac so I can't test it, but all those demos work great in Chrome, Safari and Firefox;)

woooaaah they got their shit together...
this thing looks amazing...
- We all thought that about IE 8 beta. Then the release added a bunch of backward compatible crap again.– ETM1/3
  I was being sarcastic :)
  I never thought that about 8 either– Meeklo2/3
  Many did though. I suspected, but was unsure of the sarcasm.– ETM3/3

Alt + 5: Force IE5 rendering mode
Alt + 7: Force IE7 rendering mode
Alt + 8: Force IE8 rendering mode
Alt + 9: Force IE9 rendering mode
This is kind of interesting. Does IE8 or 7 have this?
- doesn't seem to work on IE8, bummer.– zarkonite
