IE9 will be faster and rounder
The Internet Explorer team has given their first look at what web standards advances they’re making for IE9. So far they’re committed to big performance gains, rounded corners, and CSS3 selectors. This is a big deal because it’s the first time Microsoft has implemented a new working draft web standard in many many years.

Nice of them to pretend like they’re trying, but they’ve said they’re commited to adapting to standards before. Looking at that blog, they still only hit a 32% on the Acid3 test – compared to say Chrome which gets 100. A looong way to go.

Yeah, it is a long way to go. On the other hand, in IE7 they didn’t complete the Acid2 test, so they’re making consistent progress, just slowly.

Woo! ROUNDED CORNERS! Yeeeaaaah!
There’s nothin’ I love more than the sexy slither of a rounded corner.
