That is some seriously impressive stuff. Can't believe that is all being done without Flash or Silverlight. HTML5 can't come soon enough.
Aloone_Jonez:
This looks cool but doesn't mean much until most browsers support it which means we'll have to wait for ever for IE to.
How about just making an IE plug-in which opens the page using a webkit or gecko rendering engine if IE is detected? All of the most popular sites such as Google, Wikipedia and YouTube could push people into installing it so no one will use the old IE engine most of the time and be mostly unaware of it.

Alternative browsers have 50% share or something around there - that's huge. Of course this stuff isn't useful on mainstream sites just yet but it's exciting technology to play with. Btw IE9 is taking on an impressive amount of standards - it will be a good browser.
Aloone_Jonez:
IE 9 won't be available for Windows XP meaning that IE 8 will continue to reign for a long time to come.
Chrome frame sounds good and Google certainly have enough leverage to make it a standard plugin, if IE 9 isn't standards compliant enough for some of the advanced features they might want to implement.
