Internet Explorer 9

Postby Mandrake » Fri 20 Nov, 2009 4:34 am

Neowin has some cool videos up of Microsoft showing off IE9. What's really cool is thie new hardware accelerated web browsing that is using your GPU to really enable some cool things to be done.

This is obviously done with DirectCompute, which is a part of the DirectX11 API set. DirectCompute still fully supports DX10 GPUs so there shouldn't be any backwards compatibility issues in that regard.

I'm really looking forward to an IE9 Beta so we can try this out ourselves. :)

Do you think they'll upgrade the rendering engine?
