Is this what the "IE is native" PR claims are about? That HTML DOM and CSS are going to map directly onto the window system instead of a virtual window (or whatever it is called) in the browser engine?
- wmf 15y agoMicrosoft earlier explained that "native" means "not cross-platform".
- mdaniel 15y agoIt reminds me of the old joke: Microsoft knows about cross platform code, as some of their stuff runs on WinXP and Vista
- mikemaccana 15y agoEr, no, they didn't. They mean fully (or significantly more fully) hardware accelerated, and they've said that many times - hence all the benchmarks of 2D canvas in IE9 vs Chrome. Personally I think IE9 is a shitty browser - no 3D context for canvasses, gradients, history, or 3D transforms. But you don't need to represent MS to prove that.
