Internet Explorer 9 at MIX – and Windows Phone 7 IE


Internet Explorer 9 at MIX – and Windows Phone 7 IE


I am currently at MIX 10 in Las Vegas together with Mads Kristensen and Kenneth Auchenberg.

The IE9 keynote was great and revealed many new facets of the upcoming Internet Explorer 9. There will be a new Jscript engine, codenamed “Chakra”, lots of HTML 5 support and hardware acceleration of almost all rendering aspects – not just for text and images, but also for SVG and video playback.

Chrome and Firefox were literally stutteriing when they tried to play a single 720P video while IE9 was running smoothly with two simultaneous 720P streams, and the performance of the new Trident engine was even better when it came to animating SVG and CSS.
