It says they are "excited" about HTML 5. So why are they not even planning comprehensive support for it?
According to Arstechnica, despite the support for video there was "no mention of support" for many other HTML 5 technologies, such as Canvas, web workers, geolocation, at all. So this awesome new browser that won't be available for another year and won't be adopted until a few years...*still won't support many of the key elements of HTML 5. Other companies are enthusiastically adding support - with Microsoft it seems you need to hold a gun to their head to get them to do it.
Don't get me wrong, it's nice they are working on getting performance up to par with competitors. You can see on the benchmarks demo this future version of IE is *almost as good as the current working versions of Chrome, Safari and Opera when it comes to JS performance.
- One day they'll won't be so dominant anymore and then they'll listen... in the meantime let the billions pour in.zarkonite
