Looks like Microsoft did it right this time and released a browser worth some attention. The new version brings hardware acceleration capabilities, canvas support, HTML5 and CSS3 support, an improved user interface and much more. With a score of 95/100 on Acid3wiki and a much faster JavaScript enginewiki it finally left Firefox and Chrome back in the dust on a scripting and standards compatibility level.

It's quite ironic how my loyalty to XP results in my having to ditch IE.

GDI I just got Chrome and now I'm going to have to get IE9.
CURSE YOU MICROSOFT!!!

EDIT: Currently using IE9 and so far it sucks, big cahonies. Firstly I'm hoping these will be ironed out in the non-beta or w/e, but currently I cannot use the buttons on here like on chrome or firefox; Animeforume loads quiet differently, and looks broken; text is odd looking; and it is still slower than Chrome.
2/10

Hope IE 9 will really improve.. As IE 8 is too far away from firefox..
