IE9 to Have GPU Acceleration

Post by Jonah Bron »

Hello, world!

Just heard that IE9 is supposed to have GPU acceleration.

It would be cool if Firefox did that. I can't wait for things like OpenCL raytracing :)

it would be nice if IE9 just worked... IE1 to IE8 have been quite a letdown. always chunky things using lots of resources to do a bad job of rendering according to any form of specifications lol

Yeah, I wasn't saying "Hey, look how great Internet Explorer 9 will be!", just that this is a good idea, that should be picked up in many more areas.

Of course, you knew that.
