HTML5, Modernized: Fourth IE9 Platform Preview
HTML5 experiences that feel more like native applications than sites
IE9 started from the premise that the modern web will deliver HTML5 experiences that feel more like native applications than sites. Building on hardware-accelerated SVG, canvas, video, audio, and text, developers will use the power of the whole PC to achieve great performance. On the modern web, developers will use the same markup across different HTML5 browsers.
The fourth Platform Preview of Internet Explorer 9, shows the opportunity of fully hardware-accelerated HTML5. The performance benefits of hardware acceleration are clear from running different sample sites side by side in IE9 and other browsers. Browsers that implement partial hardware acceleration – for example, text-only, or video-playback only, or image-only acceleration – offer inconsistent and possibly unpredictable platform experiences to developers and end-users.
IE9 offers consistent, fully hardware-accelerated text, graphics, and media, both audio and video.
Platform Preview 4, show highly-interactive and integrated, or modern, SVG. Typically, developers think of SVG as the graphics format for static engineering diagrams and images. With HTML5 and hardware acceleration, SVG is an excellent choice for a new class of interactive, animated scenarios.
