Internet Explorer 9 officially unveiled
Sinofsky has officially announced plans for the next version of IE: Internet Explorer 9, while speaking at the PDC(Professional Developers Conference).
They’re also including ‘hardware accelerated’ rendering using your graphics card using the DirectX D2D technology. Whether you’re trying to perform funky stuff with CSS3, Javascript or DHTML, IE9 should render things a lot faster.
From one example they showed, the Bing maps got around 14 FPS without hardware acceleration. Once enabled, however, he got 60 FPS without making any changes to the page. This is done by the DirectX technology D2D, which enables the developers to enhance their web pages that have content in need of rendering made with CSS, DHTML, JavaScript, etc.
