The big feature of their new browser is GPU accelerated HTML5 rendering. Microsoft showed some real-world examples of how IE9 blows away the competition (with a heavy emphasis on how Chrome just can?t compete in ?rendering? speed). In the demos they showed, it does certainly seem that way, but to be honest, the demos they showed will (or should) never be implemented in real life.
Seriously.. What the heck are you THINKING..? The stuff they're demoing in IE 9 is pretty cool and has the potential to oust that Swiss cheese of a browser plug in known as Flash. If HTML5 can deliver content SECURELY - then WTF does it matter if it uses the GPU or not.
