IE9 Beta--And the Verdict Is IN

With all the fuss this week of the release of IE9 Beta, will IE really take back its market share?  Listening to those at Microsoft, they will tell you they never really lost any of the market.  Was that not what General Motors said--oops!  With that said, I do believe IE 9 will set the pace for a truly interactive web experience.  They definitely  have raised the bar for utilizing a GPU powered HTML5 format.  Although every tech review, outside of the Microsoft Corporate offices stated that if pushed to the limit, it often crashed.  That said, when it did work all were very impressed--and reiterated that it is still in Beta format.  Only available to the PC market, as is the current IE8,  such technology is bound to stir some competition.  Google Chrome 7, set to be released in late fall 2010/early 2011, claims to be faster and graphically superior to past product.
