Default IE no longer evil? 999 the Inverse of the Beast

Internet Explorer 9: A Fresh Start, With HTML5 - Internet Explorer 9 - Gizmodo
Platform Preview gives Web developers first taste of IE9

The good
  • Faster JavaScript performance
  • CSS3
  • HTML5
  • H.264
  • SVG
  • MP3 and AAC

The bad
  • 55/100 on Acid 3 but Microsoft vowed to improve the score before official release
  • Still Windows only

The epic
  • DirectX for smoother graphics and better performance (GPU acceleration)


I'm amazed. If Microsoft keeps this up, I just might start to like them again.
Competition is good, we all win.

looks like I might switch back to IE Soon. Firefox has been pissing me off lately, but a new version did recently come out, so I'll give it a go first.

Chrome is dumb. I would rather use Safari, and you know how I hate Apple.

Why is Chrome dumb?
I use it as my default browser on all the OSes I use. It has extensions, multiprocessing and I love its bookmark sync. I don't have to restart Chrome to update extensions, if a plugin/extension/page crashes Chrome doesn't crash too.
It is super fast, super elegant (themes are available), standards complaint and super fast.

Go give it a try

What do you think this is - amature hour?

Not all, but some...

Anyway, not sure if you know what I do for a living, but it deals with enhancing and correcting the admin. system where I work. So I know a thing or two about a thing or two. We don't deal directly with all of these specific applications, though.
