Just tried this on a new Dell that was just delivered, and it was certainly impressive, with around 2900 snowflakes.

It was a shame that prior to installing IE 9 BETA, the first thing I did was open IE 8 on the new Windows 7 PC .... and it froze when I selected "help" - "about"!?! Never mind!!!

@James Lui: the link you quote to W3C tests as actually meaningful - if you do read them they put in Red at the top of the W3C it is inappropriate to quote these results as meaningful. Those were a small subset of HTML5 tests donated to W3C directly by Microsoft, even your leader Paul Thurott had to retract his article one that one as being the 'official W3C test'. The problem is we have nowhere near a full test suite yet, although html5test.com is a good start it at least shows you what base features they support, if not how well yet.

We are excited that Microsoft has decided to follow as closely as humanly possible the standards as set forth by the W3C and has decided to ignore the utterings of a consortium of competitors that claim to be a standards body for which there is no justification. We are also excited that Microsoft has decided not to implement incomplete and unfinished proposals for standards which will change in the future. A small number of vociferous people that call themselves “web developers” in some forums actually have a very short span of memory and said group would start to complain that the Microsoft implementation of an unfinished standard is no longer standards conformant, once it has changed between the releases of IE. In the long term it is better to wait to have a stable standard and then implement it, rather than to implement it only for the reason to be able to say that it is implemented, ignoring the fact of possible and in some cases likely changes. We have seen in the recent past that some browser makers have irresponsibly implemented an unfinished “standard”, only to have it removed from a later build, because it created a serious security issue. We are excited that Microsoft has decided to go the responsible way and avoid future headaches by the real world web developers that use web standards as they become stable over time.

"We're excited that Microsoft has decided to follow all the other browser's leads by accepting standards and working towards supporting HTML5, CSS3, WebSockets, GeoLocation, etc."

Unfortunately we are disappointed that the level of support of these technologies and the completeness of fixes to previous bugs that still make development and debugging in IE a nightmare.

"We’re excited that other browser vendors have decided to follow our lead "

Oh please, don't try humour on this site, that really isn't funny.

1. ATI Radeon X1800 GTO is not supported. No hardware acceleration.

2. YouTube video time codes are transparent in IE9 Beta when I use the following setting: <param name="wmode" value="opaque" />. This works in FireFox, Chrome, and Opera.

3. HTML5 video fullscreen = browser width & height. I don't like it. OK, I know it is a security reason but it is a very bad experience for watching movies.

4. F12 developer tools: Where is the "stay on top" button? I've not found it. The "pin" button doesn't work when I use the javascript debugger.

5. HTML source code view: please, highlight the typed word on the scroll bar as Chrome (yellow). It is useful for SEO.

Jason (and the rest of the IE-team),

It would be great if you could get some of your co-workers to blog about the File API as well as the History API. Is the IE-team making any progress there or is maximizing the number of rendered snowflakes the most interesting thing about IE right now?

dev.w3.org/.../FileAPI

www.whatwg.org/.../history.html

Thanks!

Ie 9 has not made the plugin Quicktime working. When quicktime plugin is install apple.com is so slow it become useless.

discussions.info.apple.com/thread.jspa

Please Microsoft ie9 team, the Quicktime plugin is working perfect on all other browsers (Firefox, Opera, Safari, Chrome)

There is no excuse for microsoft to blame Apple. Microsoft needs to make this highly wide spread Quicktime plugin working in Ie9

Many people rely on itunes, iphone from apple, so if Microsoft dont do something to solve the problem, people inkluding me will desplace ie9 and use Firefox instead

Many thanks
