Without Direct2D and DirectWrite which the Platform Update provides there will be no GPU acceleration in IE9 and Firefox.

Can't they do it without a platform update?

That would be like a new DX11 benchmark without tessellation. GPU acceleration is one of the key new features of IE9 and Firefox 4. Platform Update backports major NT6.1 new features to NT6.0, Direct2D and DirectWrite are one those new features. If your install of Server 2008 does not like the Platform Update you should fix it because it clearly supports both Vista and Server 2008.

Wow that sucks. meh. I'm gonna go to server 2008R2 soon as I get my server grade SSD drive.

So that won't matter much to me.

But still I'd rather have FF then IE at this point. I don't like the direction MS goes with software these days. They just pile more crap and not re-vamp stuff. A member on here has the perfect sig explaining this ordeal MS has! I quite like his sig!

Thing is sites shouldn't be so intense to NEED GPU acceleration to begin with! ISPs are gonna hate that as well. The connections can't keep up with much of those kinda sites.

I can't believe how amazing Opera 11 is!
Functionality, addons (which are mediocre ATM though), interface, footprint size and most of all Speed!
Simply brilliant! I think all that's left is roboform toolbar for Opera and certain addons like flashgot, greasemonkey & flagfox, and to have NoAds refined to the level of Adblock Plus.
I'm counting down reasons to use anything but Opera! :rockout:

Am i the only one who is pissed off by the new speed dial? Really don't like how it seems to zoom in really far to the left of the webpage for the thumbnail now.

francis511 · Apr 15, 2011

Yeah sometimes opera "fixes" bring more trouble than they`re worth. New build a bit buggy for me.

Opera 11.11 Build 2109

New version. See opening post.

pr0n Inspector · May 18, 2011

... and still no update on Opera Mini for iOS. I'm starting to think it was a bullshit PR stunt and Opera had no intention of supporting it.

yep, but its helpful if you often visit certain webs
or if you use it on your phone, it cuts several seconds

Well, time for an Opera Update! We got a Release Code to play with!

Read info here > Swordfish Release Candidate 1 (11.50 - 1067)

Look carefully, as there are two installation files for this build...

Also, this is Swordfish(11.50), not Barracuda(11.11).

RC3, see the OP

RejZoR · Jun 25, 2011

I've been noticing this as well in Firefox 5. The icon is not always rendered, usually when you open the thread. But if you click Refresh, the icon appears. I haven't tested but it's quite possible that AdBlock is causing it. Or Firefox. Or combination of both.

de.das.dude · Jun 25, 2011

opera FTW!
opera 11 rocks!

Drone · Jun 26, 2011

^ sure
