I bet you'd be embarrassed if you knew how low it was as JavaScript speed is not that relevant to most peoples browsing needs. Browser manufacturers needed a metric and uselessly settled on JavaScript speed.<br><br>@Ivan - If you haven't yet figured out how to use the UPDATE feature of Firefox or that you can visit the mozilla web site without IE I feel sorry for you.<br><br>Just because the current version of IE is nothing to write home about doesn't mean future versions will be bad. MS make no profit from IE for most of its life there has been little profit in MS making IE competitive. Its market share was ensured by the Windows user base. If you cannot see that then open your blinkered vision to the truth. @Michael – Yeah well how much of your browsing is based on Javascript?

I will still use IE only to download a newer version of Firefox xD They can skip right to IE #27 and still wouldn't compare to Firefox which is fast and customizable.

We'll see. M$ never cared about web standards before. If they do now, its only because their browser is such an embarassment.
