At least the number is going up. It seems they completely re-wrote their javascript engine, so (hopefully) they'll be able to deveote all their IE resources to improving standards compliency. If that gets better then the hardware acceleration and js engine 'should' provide a really noticeable difference between v8 and v9.
I'm interested in what they are going to do to the UI for it. Since, it seems they are redoing that since it's absent in the screens for it so far at MIX. I hope that they don't ruin it because that's what has been keeping me using ie8 over the competitors. Chrome is really close second in that reguard.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
I noticed they were essentially boasting about a 55/100 score on ACID3. Even mobile versions of rival browsers have whipped that score.
