Microsoft talks about Internet Explorer 9

Microsoft developers have blogged about the work being done with the next version of their Internet Explorer web browser product.

One thing is pretty clear. Microsoft has understood what the user wants from his browser. And it’s speed.

The company has stated that they want to make Internet Explorer 9 in this field.

They are also going to work on improved support for web standards along with a faster JavaScript engine.

Microsoft said:

We’re changing IE to use the DirectX family of Windows APIs to enable many advances for web developers. The starting point is moving all graphics and text rendering from the CPU to the graphics card using Direct2D and DirectWrite. Graphics hardware acceleration means that rich, graphically intensive sites can render faster while using less CPU. (This interview includes screen captures of a few examples.) Now, web developers can take advantage of the hardware ecosystem’s advances in graphics while they continue to author sites with the same interoperable standards patterns they’re used to.
