> It doesn't matter if the new IE browser is faster than firefox, since any computer that is powerful enough to run Vista in the first place will probably not take a noticeable amount of time to render a page in Firefox. Probably not, but hardware acceleration makes a ton of difference in responsiveness (it pushes a lot of things below that 100ms barrier where you feel that things happen instantaneously). Try out a Firefox 3.7a3pre nightly on a Windows Vista SP2 or 7 computer, enable Direct2D, and see for yourself.
