Just a developer preview to see the speed and features but the hardware acceleration has paid off big time, it's an extremely fast browser.

Forgot the link: http://ie.microsoft.com/testdrive/Default.html

You got a link for this?

[Jamesy]

I'm really pleased they have began to incorporate the latest things into it, like CSS3 and such. It's just a shame that it takes a lot longer for IE updates to spread through the userbase.

I saw this unveiled at Mix, promising stuff. I do like it. Can't wait to see the final build though...

Firefox is -moz-border-radius
Safari, Chrome et al. is -webkit-border-radius
IE will support -webkit-border-radius, whooo!

This is the first release of IE I'm actually excited about.

IE supports border-radius.

It is suppose to be just border-radius but the prefixes are to indicate that it does not follow the CSS3 spec properly and it the vendor's own implementation of the property.

IE supports border-radius.
I don't think it currently does?

[Jahova]

They must be happy with themselves if they are offering this preview.

What's border radius?

What's border radius?

so coders dont have to use images to round corners off for content, which ultimately makes content load faster

[The Professor]

Oh cool never heard of that, don't think i've ever seen it in use either (does opera support it?)!

i dont think many use it. It means you have to use like 3 style sheets, and it leaves it a bit pixelated too so its less appealing

[The Professor]

So why is everyone up in arms about it?

no idea, i dont ever plan on using it. It makes sense, but the only thing that you can do is have it rounded and a border. You cant drop shadow or anything as far as i know.

[Tomm]

I use it and I only need 1 stylesheet as the browsers just ignore the border-radius types that they don't support/understand. Also I've had no problems with it looking pixelated in any browser that supports border-radius (Firefox, Opera, Chrome, any webkit browser).

In my opinion, browsers will not be able to render the antialias that photoshop provides. Comparing it to and image in photoshop, and an image a browser has made, im sure you would be able to see. Not only that, but its a lot harder to style it how you want it to
