W.I.E.P.P. Read on for more information...
OK, so Microsoft are now developing Internet Explorer 9.0, which will support HTML 5, straight out of the box (unlike IE 8.0). So, to give us a sneak peek, MS have decided to create the WIEPP.
This is basically a real basic example at what HTML 5, CSS 3 and XML have to offer, and I have to say, it's really damn good! This release includes support for the HTML5 audio, video, canvas, the Web Open Font Format (WOFF), and many other new and improved capabilities.
Some of my personal favourites are not limited to, but do include:
- Network Monitoring: You can see how long stuff takes to download AND how long it takes to execute, and hence be displayed upon your screen!
- Mr. Potato Gun: Just for the Lulz really!
- HTML5 Audio XML Playlist: Basically an online streaming MP3 service!
- IMDb Video Panorama: View movie trailers online, without having to download them or even think about going to apple.com/trailers (FUCK YOU APPLE!!!). I also like the visual effects of the site, very modern!
- Amazon Shelf: This looks very good, and I can really see this kicking right off!!!!!
- FishIE Tank: Not too sure if this would replace a background of a website, if it does then I am not too over keen on it, but even still it looks good!
Please note that the design of this small program does not reflect upon the design for IE 9, MS as usual are not saying anything about the design of IE 9. This post was not to advertise the fact that IE 9 is just around the corner it is simply to advertise the fact that HTML 5 is here, and that it’s looking freaking awesome!

I haven't had chance to have a look at it, but to be honest, I probably won't. But you knew that already, I hate M$. :D
But I have to say the biggest improvement is the Javascript speed.
IE8 takes 3746 ms on average to run a set javascript program.
IE9 Platform Preview #3 only takes 347ms to run the same program on the same machine. (It was a Win 7, 3.0GHz Core 2 Duo, 4GB RAM) So that is like over 10 fold quicker, which is not bad considering updated software from microsoft is generally slower!
However even after this major new overhaul, it can not still beat Opera, Chrome, or Safari, and it only beats Firefox 3.7 Pre-Release Alpha6 by 200ms!
It's all about the PHP for me. :)
