IE 11 Getting WebGL, SPDY/3, New Dev Tools
rescendent writes sends this report about new features in Internet Explorer 11:
"Microsoft released Windows Server ("Blue") to MSDN subscribers today, ahead of the BUILD conference later this week in San Francisco. The build provides us a number of clues as to what we will see in the official Windows 8.1 (Blue) preview. The server build number is 9341, the Windows 8.1 preview build will be: 6.3.9431.winmain_bluemp.130615-1214. IE11 scores 351/500 + 2 bonus point, and 25/25 for WebGL. Since this is a server build, the score may be a little higher than IE11 on Win 8.1, but this confirms WebGL for IE11. IE11 WebGL Conformance Test Results: 14,748 of 20,509 tests pass (71.9%). Many things seen in the Server 2012 R2 preview will also show up in the Windows 8.1 preview."
why would that make a significant difference?
well, because it's SERVER it has a much stabler kernel and supertuned internals and therefore is better for running an irc client... that's what one ms fanboi once told me anyhow.
seriously though, dunno, maybe it boots straight to desktop and has couple of flags so it will run ms servers with higher connection counts..
world was created 5 seconds before this post as it is.
maybe they're going for "year of the windows server"?
