Imagining a More Engaging Web: 3rd Anniversary of IE Test Drive

  • 아티클

As developers build on the full capabilities of HTML5, touch, and hardware accelerated graphics, the web today is more engaging for consumers than many imagined. The experiences developers are building today simply were not possible just a few years ago.

Saturday marked the third anniversary of the IE Test Drive site. What started as a few examples of hardware-accelerated HTML5 to help developers imagine the potential of the web, has grown to a collection of over 140 feature-packed demos. Test Drive gives you a taste of what’s possible with HTML5 and modern browsers on modern hardware: HTML5, CSS3, ECMAScript 5, touch, GPU-powered graphics, blazing performance, audio/video, mobile, games, and more.

The support you’ve shown is humbling – over the last three years the Test Drive has received over 130 million page views! That’s more than a page per second for the last three years!We’ve had a lot of fun building the demos, and thought we’d take a look back at some of our favorite demos along the way.

We’re always excited and humbled by the amazing experiences developers are building on the web every day. Thank you for your continued feedback and for using IE10.

    Could you update your score on the W3C HTML5 tests ? (11000+ tests)

    > Please "modernize" F12 developer tools and source viewer (clickable URLs for CSS, JS and images). That should read: take a GOOD, LONG, HARD look at Firebug (surely MS employees know it) and completely copy it. ALL OF IT. Firebug is by far one of the best debugging tools, neck-a-neck with Chrome's inspector. Opera's Dragonfly is a mess but still provides most of the functionality that may be expected. MSIE's F12-tools are a joke. I don't even take it seriously as developer tools. Also, emulating old IE versions is not quite right. Not only visually not quite right, but also functionally. In many cases a "native" IE is much better than emulation. It's a good function to have, but it causes developers to rely on it (which is a bad thing). I get the feeling MS never realized that. And we NEED to test on old IE, because IE9 doesn't run on Windows XP, IE10 doesn't run on Vista, IE7 and IE8 don't run on Windows 7, and neither version can run side-by-side on any system, let alone true portable versions (hey, MS, there's a tip!)

    IE10 will become IE10 when Windows 7 become Windows XP. Using a browser that updates continually is the only way to go.

    ... "browser that updates continually" ... which IE10 offers (checkout Alt+X+A in IE10), hence proved IE10 == IE10.

    +1 for copy Firebug to fix the IE Dev Tools. IE's are a joke in comparison and so frustrating to use.
