It seems that IE9 will allow better texts and fast graphics:
I'm longing to try border-radius with my Crimson skin.. :)

Yes looking forward to IE9! :D
unfortunately they could have implemented text-shadow css but i read that IE9 still will not support it. which means using filters still. i hope they change their mind about that and make text-shadow work!

ah ok.. too bad indeed. I hope too they will change their mind for us! :D

Pirk are you running that IE9 platform preview?
if yes please check if this site works as it works in firefox already...i am curious if IE9 supports it.

Audiosoft, well.. yes, now I'm running the IE9 platform preview. but your link doesn't work at all in IE9 (version 9.07745.6019). I only get a white page, 100% white.. nothing displayed!
In firefox your link works perfectly: it seems Microsoft still have some work to do!

What does IE9 have to do with skin support since it's all rendered internally anyway? Will IE9 (which won't run on xp) become a requirement for EJ?

Audiosoft - 3-27-2010 at 08:16 PM

IE9 will not be a requirement for EJ since there is no XP support. However it could be required for certain user EJ skins in the future like IE7 is now for skins with alpha pngs in the lists.

IE9 should make EJ list rendering faster (even on the oldest skins) since IE9 uses multiple cores but in order to use it you will need vista or win7 with a decent GPU.

Ah, gotcha.
Thanks for clarifing
