Not many actually know that Microsoft has officially announced the Internet Explorer 9. To some others, they’ll probably just click on the download button and try it out due to the curiosity that they had. But to one particular person, he went back to live through all the IEs that had grace through our lives, in a new video that he created. Of course, letting you see every single IE is nothing fun, so he went and try run the Acid compatibility tests to see how they stand up to modern standards. IE1, the ancient, CSS-deprived beast that it is, choked immediately and failed to even display its homepage without an error, but things improved steadily from there until the triumph of iteration 9. See all that glorious progress happening in the space of just a few minutes in the video after the break.
