Hardware accelerated HTML rendering

When you resize an image in an HTML page, you get a pixelated mess, no bilinear filtering. I never understood that. And while WebGL,  O3D, etc are cool, I always waited for an HTML rendering engine that utilizes my expensive GPU.

The wait, thanks to Microsoft, is over:

Now, this is a great feature!
