[ravewulf]

new standards like HTML5 and CSS3, as well as developing a faster JavaScript rendering engine. ... make use of DirectX-based hardware accelerated graphics and text in IE9

Sweet!

 

[fazers_on_stun]

About time for a new FF babe - the old one is getting stale .

Same here!!!

 

[ssalim]

wow, there is IE girl again. wow. not safe for work. Kind of.

 

[ssalim]

I only use IE8 for sql server reporting services since FF does not display it correctly (for me). That's it. Nothing else.

 

[Herbert_HA]

Wouldn't use even if it was IE10. Crappy outdated browser.

 

[gaevs]

I really, really like the IE girl.. i want one!... oh.. BTW, i use IE8... no prob so far.

 

[snowgoer1998]

Was there an article on this page?

 

[insider3]

I'll use Netscape Navigator over this.

 

[kelfen]

did you forget w/o IE w/e version you could not get ff or any other browser; I use em all because win 7 gets a new id on the bottom

 

[pocketdrummer]

IE girl probably has herpes...

 

[yang]

I'm always for new innovations, I hope IE9 will look sleek. I love aesthetics of things

 

[Camikazi]

Wasn't she the FF girl before IE girl? This is first time I seen her with IE symbol instead of the FF symbol.

 

[john15v16]

Unfortunately the world has to deal with crappy IE so I hope it actually passes the CSS ACID test with better scores this time.

 

[itadakimasu]

jesus.... ie8 is bad enough.... why not just make ie8 work correctly before making 9 ?

I don't know about herpes, but share a cup of java with her and you could get a virus in a flash.

Microsoft needs to quit while they're ahead. Windows 7 is good, IE8 is way better than IE7. Windows Vista and IE7 are two things that should've never happened.

Yes, perhaps they should just fire their whole devlopment team and not develop their products anymore. I honestly think this is the most stupid comment I've read on here. Oh, and if vista hadn't happened, then all the things peopel complained about would have just applied to W7... it was the fall guy for making us change hardware and the way security was implemented.

IE is history for me! As much history as Netscape, and Windows 3.11!

 

[mayne92]

IE still sucks...took M$ till version 8 to allow web developers to have less of a headache to program-through-hoops in order to get a webpage to display properly with their shitty browser! lol

New innovations?...from M$?...M$ "innovations" are ideas from other innovators. As M$ is a huge company, you would think you'd see greater amount of innovations that no-body has seen before, a new idea, whatever. But it seems to always be an "innovation" that can be found from something or someone else...

I have developed web applications for IE6 and lower, and with good code you can basically get your design working with minimal effort(As long as your design isn't completely wild). Also if it weren't for Microsoft and IE's innovations the web wouldn't be what it is now. You know AJAX? Yeah the technology behind that was first introduced in IE 5. IE7 and IE8 are good browsers and it doesn't take much to get sites to render properly in them.

I am still a FF guy but IE has come a long way since 6. Good thing FF did come because Microsoft needed the competition. And that was the only way the internet would evolve.
