IE really needs the help of a graphics card to do these movements! LOL
Not only IE, whole graphics applications in this world needs help of a graphics card to display runtime complex graphics.
In browser world, Opera already does – IE ,FireFox & Chrome are working on these.
Leveraging the local graphics card power would make the web move to next level for rich media sevices like 3D games, Office Application online,..etc.
This is natural evolution for browsers.
What , Opera already has hardware rendering support?
i think you meant firefox alphas
Yes, Checkout these links

You can also Bing or Google for Opera Hardware accelaration.
Opera doesn’t know or doesn’t do much marketing like firefox/microsoft/Google about their innovation & features on browser.
No! Opera doesn’t have any HW acceleration for Vega yet! At least not in the public builds. Although they working hard on it, and I expect it to come with Opera 10.6 (but at least with Opera 11).
“Vega is using a software back-end. … The hardware back-end of Vega was not in release quality at the time of the 10.50 release.” source: http://my.opera.com/kilsmo/blog/2010/03/02/opera-10-50-the-beginning
Thanks a lot for educating me on Opera!! Opera seems to be really rocking with software rendering.
Yeah, nice try, and well done at throwing money away. First off, if you say “the way internet is gonna be in the future” is dependent on hardware and a specific browser, then you are a complete moron.
There is a reason why everyone wants standards.
There is a reason why cellphone internet access is on the rise.
There is also a reason why Windows is loosing marketshare, and IE along with it.
This is just not going to work. It’s cool, but it’s a waste of money.
well i tested opera 10.51 in a traditional netbook and got 22fps,
i posted it as a video response in youtube lets see if they allow it :P
link to ur video plz…

this show my desktop and then a netbook with atom and the sucky gma 945, winxp, opera 10.51
i may have to do it again because now im getting like 40+ fps… maybe i had battery saving mode enabled :P
has far as i know opera has experimented with hardware acceleration but not enabled it yet, vega engine is currently running in software mode
ok heres correct link with all browsers

Opera already does the hardware accelration, just do Google/Bing for “Opera Hardware Acceleration”

Vega does NOT have hardware acceleration… It’s been said that none of 10.5x builds will. They will implement “HA” later on closer to O 11
The fact is that no one knows…
Opera may be releasing the HA tomorrow or may be releasing in the next year, who are we – mere mortals – to tell what Opera is going to do? :P
“You disabled the heavy aero graphical interface from the ION computer but not from the traditionnal computer. This comparison is not fair at all”
Nvidia is learning marketing strategies from Apple.
Good observation :)
IE i(no matter what version)is a sorry excuse for a browser that holds the internet advancement back. Microsoft should make the code open source so that more competent coders can look at it. Its not their main line of business anyway.Their current release cycles are poor and the patching rate of security holes are scandalous.
I agree, Old IE holds the internet advancement in because it lacks lot of standards. But I don’t how making the code open source would solve this. Open source development might solve a bit by attracting more developers which will get you to implement all the standards out there quickly. If you also notice that last two IE patch releases are well advice and they didn’t wait for regular security update cycle.
Sorry, I don’t buy your argument.
