In a demo, Microsoft showed IE9 to be at least five times quicker than Google Chrome.

They are able to increase the load speed significantly faster because of the integration between hardware and software: with the advance of new web programming language HTML5, Microsoft is now able to offload much of the burden of processing graphics onto computer hardware that’s built for the job, the graphics processing unit (GPU).

Of course Google isn’t going to sit still....

Competition is good.

Why didn't they think of that years ago, I always thought all that crap didn't need to be hauled all over the Internet anyway.

And of course Microsoft will not be standards compliant. You’ll still have to program webpages with Microsoft workarounds.

No, no, no! The Dear Leaders, Gate, Soros, Obama, Me-chelle believe that competition leads to Social Darwinism and inequality, and the little people don't know how to spend their money anyway, so they must "nudged" and guided into the "correct" way of thinking and buying and eating. /s

Cool, I’m looking forward to this.

I downloaded it. I noticed no change in the speed.
