IE9 first impressions

Just read the gizmodo.com round up of ie9. Looks quite interesting, especially the following:

• h.264 video - Whoot! No more needing to install flash!
• SVG and 2D acceleration - Again above and will look cool when we have some people building some extra funkness into site. Maybe building a version of Mario to natively run in the browser?
• HTML 5 - Though on the face of it I see this as being a VERY good thing. I'll like to see how MS will "interpret " the standard

Another big surprise is the dropping of WinXp support! Sigh, I guess I'll have to leave my cozy WinXp machine at some point then
