Internet Explorer 8 was a great step forward. They were the first browser to support parallel script downloading. Jason and others on the team are extremely focused on performance, and they have great insights into what matters. We’ve seen the IE 9 platform previews . Come hear Jason talk about what’s critical when it comes to performance, and what more we can expect to see in Internet Explorer 9.
