IE9 Preview Platform Shows Off With Latest Update

Not that long ago we covered IE9 in a groovyPost article here:

And just yesterday Microsoft released a new version of the preview platform that is looking even more groovy. Internet Explorer 9 is showing some real promise, and after taking a look at some of the benchmarks I really think it is going to give Firefox & Chrome a run for their money.

Acid 3 Web Standards Results

CSS 3 Testing Results

This new test drive platform hasn't changed a whole lot, but they've certainly upped the amount of tests you can perform and some of them are quite amazing.

Anyone try out IE 9 yet? I'll be honest... .I've not yet. Will have to try it soon I guess and see how it compares.

I think I would play with ie9 but I'm actually having a good time recently with Chrome. I know it's google but, it's actually really nice....
