Written by At the end of this month, on the MWC in Barcelona, we will be able to see the Windows 8 Consumer Preview prepared by Microsoft. At the same time, we will get a glimpse of its built-in version Internet Explorer (IE10). The users who installed Windows 8 Developer Preview also have the opportunity to experience the IE 10 fist.
Microsoft has announced the advantages of IE9 and IE10 on Windows 7 over other browsers long before. But now, Microsoft has launched a test page called “Love is in the Air” that only users with IE9 above can enter. This test page has a strong atmosphere of Valentine’s Day. It is used to test the HTML5 hardware acceleration of IE9 and IE10.
With the hardware acceleration of HTML5, IE10 will be able to provide users with great performance, Microsoft explained.
Heart Number: 500 Window Size: 1031 × 853 Frames: 60
Heart Number: 4000 Window Size: 1031 × 853 Frames: 17
Heart Number: 2000 Window Size: 1031 × 853 Frames: 35
Heart Number: 250 Window Size: 963 × 797 Frames: 2
Heart Number: 2000 Window Size: 1040 × 818 Frames: 42
Heart Number: 100 Window Size: 952 × 806 Frames: 4
From the above pictures, we can see that this test page provides a drop-down option in the lower left corner. You can choose the number of hearts displayed on the page. These values were 100, 250, 500, 1000, 2000 and 4000.
“This test brings us the experience of hardware acceleration about canvas, SVG, CSS conversion & transition, the WOFF, wireless, etc.” Rob Mauceri, the product project manager of Internet Explorer, said in a blog.
The built-in IE 10 of Windows Developer Preview has multi-touch support. Users can directly touch by hands or indirectly via the mouse to find the hidden love information.
If you think that your browser can keep up with the speed, you may adjust the heart number value to 1000. Try to experience the built-in hardware acceleration of IE9/10 and other browsers.
Some people have used IE9, Firefox 11 (Beta), Chrome 17.0.963.46 and Opera 11.61 to open this webpage respectively. They found that only browsers of Microsoft and Firefox can support the heart number display of 1000, and browsers of Google and Opera cannot handle more than 2 fps of frames.
I am exicited about HTML5 but Flash can do all these things html5 can do in a better way.Creating slideshow in HTML5! wow! what, flash did that 10 years ago! It is very easy to create a flash animation, for example a ball bouncing in flash professional in less than am minute. Javascript is a mess when compared to AS3.
