IE is the most widely used browser on Windows and is currently in the oven at Redmond. IE Team is trying to take IE to a whole new level with all the graphic rendering taking place on the GPU via the DirectX technology. IE 9 is going to take advantage of the powe
r of the GPU for all page rendering and, further, enable web developers to exploit this power in ways they already understand (CSS, DHTML, JavaScript).

The increase in performance and smooth rendering in IE 9 is stunning as can be seen in this video below from Channel 9 which was part of Sinofsky’s keynote at PDC.

Microsoft has not given any specific date or timeline on when a Technical
Preview of Internet Explorer 9 is going to be available for public download.
