At a recent HTML5 meetup, Microsoft Evangelist Giorgio Sardo held a vigil for Internet Exploder 6. IE6, long the bane of web designers everywhere is getting flipped upside down in the form of IE9. Turns out IE9 is kicking some major tail, specifically that of my Windows browser of choice, Chrome.

Sardo tells us that the IE team is working hard on hardware acceleration of web features. With today’s ever increasing computing specs, hardware acceleration certainly makes sense. For the daring among us, you can get the IE9 Developer Preview now.

Not to be left behind, the folks at Mozilla are really thinking through UX/UI for their next release of Firefox. Alex Faaborg walks us through the process of designing tabs in Firefox 4.
