Never Mind the Bullets (IE9 HTML5 Webcomic)

The story itself is 100% generic Wild West. There’s no need to advance beyond the first installment.

It's interesting, Microsoft getting to play the "Your browser is sub-optimal" card for a change. I can only imagine that in the light of the 'obsolete before its release' news recently, this was all the more incentive to push the beta of IE9 out as quickly as they could.

For what it's worth, I didn't run through the whole thing, as the movement was too jerky (for me, in Chrome). I won't bother to look (or download IE9 for the moment), but the cynic in me is guessing that they're already implementing some 'browser-specific' tags that render shoddily elsewhere.

Feel free to tell me I'm full of shit, as I'd love to hear that they've actually released something standards compliant that is so significantly faster than the competition that Chrome just can't possibly be expected to smoothly render it. I just doubt that's the case.
