IE 11 Getting WebGL, SPDY/3, New Dev Tools

Posted by Soulskill on Tuesday June 25, 2013 @06:11PM from the growing-up dept.

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."

Server installations by default have the scheduler configured to prioritise services over UI applications, and to provide more deterministic scheduling at the expense of responsiveness to user input.

maybe they're going for "year of the windows server"?

Swapped? What is this swap? I have 8GB of RAM, I neither need nor have swap. For people with too little memory to run anything without it, it's mandatory. To everyone else, it's just a way to slow down your computer.
