Hands On: Internet Explorer 9

**First Look at Internet Explorer 9 Preview**

It's great that you guys are okay with this test running in a couple of other browsers, okay? So, this is the exact same test that I just showed you running on Internet Explorer 9, which is averaging about 50 frames per second. Now, I'm running Chrome (5 or, I'm sorry, Chrome 4.1 beta), and as you can see here, it's barely crawling along—it's running at about two frames per second. Obviously, this kind of gives you an idea of what the hardware acceleration in Internet Explorer 9 is.

This is pretty cool because this is about the first test I've seen in a long time that the internet explorer actually does good on. But now, let me go ahead and show you guys Opera, where it's just a little bit of a different story, okay? So, this is the exact same test running on Opera 10.5. Now, here it's actually not too bad—it's running about 41-42 frames per second, and it looks really quite smooth.

This goes to show you that you know this is a very specific test, and yeah, Chrome did not do very well, but Opera did, and obviously, Internet Explorer 9 did. So, it gives you an idea of how important hardware acceleration is—although it's definitely not the most important thing, okay?

So, I'm going to go ahead and show you guys just opening up some random web pages. Let's first start with gizmodo.com, which is a pretty heavy website. So, let's see how Internet Explorer 9 runs it, and uh, right off the bat, you can definitely see that it runs pretty well—I mean, especially compared to Internet Explorer 8—it runs much much snappier.

See here, it's not perfect, but obviously this is not a uh, it's not by any means a complete browser—it's just a preview. So, um, it seems to run really nice and smooth. You know, this is the preview, so it doesn't really have any kind of UI—obviously, this is just a uh, this is just a placeholder basically all this is is just to test it.

But you can go ahead and click on just the Internet Explorer N9 page, I guess. Um, there we go, maybe not? See that—that's kind of a little bit of a thing—it's not it's obviously preview, but um, and it doesn't like to work a lot of the times, but of course you can see that obviously it does work fairly well sometimes, and you know, smoothing everything is nice and smooth.

So, yeah, guys, it looks pretty solid. Okay, so that is a first look at the preview of Internet Explorer 9, um, I'm pretty impressed with it—um, normal little bit of browsing um, it can kind of have a few Hang-Ups like you just saw. So, that kind of doesn't you know bow too well, but it's a preview very very very early, and of course, you I'm sure that they will you know smooth it out a lot.

But what I'm really excited about is the results—um, a lot the JavaScript and acid tests and everything—they're not amazing but they're actually pretty solid. But what I really like is the fact that it includes hardware acceleration—um, now as you guys can see here, there are a lot of different tests, and I've tried them all, and they are all very very cool.

You know, there's a lot of really graphically intense ones that pretty much all the browsers—you know Chrome Opera uh Safari Firefox—they're all choking on them, and Internet Explorer 9 is running them great—obviously, I know that they are made specifically for Internet Explorer 9, but still, the fact that developers and you know you could have a website that's totally coded for that and it would work already without any kind of you know special modifications for Internet Explorer 9—is pretty cool.

So, yeah, guys, that is a first look at Internet Explorer 9—um, I'm pretty impressed with it—I got to say this is the first time I've been you know impressed with internet explore 9 or Internet Explorer in general for a while. But uh, we'll go ahead and keep taking a look at it um, if you're interested, go ahead check out the sidebar or the under bar or more info or whatever they're call it these days—check it out, you can go ahead and download and try this for yourself.

Anyway, guys, thanks for watching.

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhey guys what is up it's Duncan and today I'm here with a video on some Hands-On time of the preview of Internet explore 9 um so this is just they've just uh released the preview and of course this is by no means a complete browser they've released the preview of Internet Explorer 9 and it brings with it a lot of really cool things such as HTML 5 support as well as Hardware acceleration and I will get to that in just a minute so yeah guys just hang around and I'll go ahead and show you guys a little bit about it and show you guys why it actually could be a pretty cool browser anyway let's get this one started okay guys so before we begin let me go ahead and just show you guys a few of the benchmarks that uh Microsoft has run um and I will note that yeah don't think that these are faked I've actually most of them and they all are 100% accurate so no worries so on the SunSpider test as you can see um Internet Explorer 9 not amazing um it's still behind Safari and chrome and Opera but I will note that like they said it's SunSpider really made for web kit which is what they run um so for Internet Explorer 9 it's a little bit different it's not quite made for Internet Explorer 9 um but still as you can see here Internet Explorer 8 got like 37,000 I mean 3700 and Internet Explorer 9 got 600 so you know that's a pretty big jump so go ahead and show you guys um acid 3 and of course I've run it too um it only gets 55 not amazing pretty much every browser beats that but considering that you know Internet Explorer 8 usually failed the test not too terrible um so now let's go ahead and show you guys a couple of the cool features so they have a cool test page that uh shows a little bit of the hardware acceleration so I'll go ahead and show you guys one right now so there's a really cool thing called flying images now of course my screen recording might not be quite right but you see up on the top left it shows the frames per second so basically this is just using JavaScript and basically in this is a little bit different where it's actually tapping into my uh computer's uh graphics card um so instead of you know just entirely using the processor it it's actually using the graphics card um to you know to help the computer you know not quite use up so much system resources and uh run it a little bit better so you can see here it runs really nice and smooth we're averaging about 50 frames per second um and of course you can go ahead and add more go ahead and add another now we're at 64 images and it's still running pretty nice and smooth so let's go ahead and speed up some and it's still holding steady at about 53 frames per second so just using this test of course it's made for internet explor 9 but just using this test I'll show you guys it in a couple of other browsers okay guys so this is the exact same test that I just showed you running an Internet Explorer 9 which is averaging about 50 frames per second and now I'm running Chrome 5 or I'm sorry Chrome 4.1 beta um as you can see here it is barely crawling along it's running at about two frames per second um so obviously this kind of gives you an an idea of what the hardware acceleration in Internet Explorer 9 UM and this this is pretty cool because this is about the first test I've seen in a long time the internet and explor actually is doing good so but now let me go ahead and show you guys Opera where it's just a little bit of a different story okay guys so this is the exact same test running in Opera 10.5 now here it's actually not too bad it's running about 4142 frames per second um and it looks really quite smooth um so it goes to show you that you know this this is a very specific test and yeah Chrome did not do very good but opera did and obviously Internet Explorer 9 did so it gives you an idea of how important Hardware acceleration is although it's definitely not the most important thing okay guys so I'm going to go ahead and

see that that's kind of a little bit of a thing it's not it's obviously preview there we go um and it doesn't like to work a lot of the times but of course you can see that obviously it does work fairly well sometimes and you know smoothing everything is nice and smooth um so yeah guys it looks pretty solid okay guys so that is a first look at the preview of Internet Explorer 9 um I'm pretty
