eagerly anticipating IE9 just because of the much advertised above feature.
I use Opera, and dont really want to change but I would if the hardware thing was as good as it seemed to be.
As a Opera user I was curious about IE9's hardware accelleration and how it would make the web faster as it used your graphics card to accelerate screen draws etc.
Should I change browsers?
I thought, why hasn't opera got this..?
Turns out it HAS, but only from a beta "work in progress" build.
Tried it, happy to say it work PERFECT for me..and a helluva helluva lot faster.
It used OpenGL to accelerate the browser..unlike IE9 though it accellerates everything whilst browsing, not just screen redraws etc.
If you run Opera..give it a whirl, just remember that dependant on your PC config, it might not work properly!
