Internet Explorer 9 is coming. Faster JavaScript engine, some more CSS support, including CSS 3’s rounded corners, SVG support, and some nice font rendering goodness. Add in some HTML 5 goodness. An aside — despite the over-the-top anger vented against Flash in 2010, I still feel Flash has legs and a future, but that’s a posting for another time — end aside. But the really neat thing about this announcement and preview is: for once I’m actually semi-excited (not quite fully excited) with Internet Explorer. It’s a good feeling as opposed to being completely angry at the antique crustiness of IE 6. Anyway, here’s to an incrementally more advanced web, thanks to the hard work and effort of the IE dev team.
