W3C Web Performance Workshop
The W3C Web Performance Working Group is looking for new use cases and performance issues to solve in its next chartered period. To that effect, the Working Group is holding a public workshop on November 8, 2012, in Mountain View, CA where performance experts and Web developers are invited to present ideas and discuss current challenges. Statements of interest will be the basis of the discussion at the Workshop and must be submitted by October 29th to this mailing list.
Fast HTML5 Web applications benefit consumers who browse the Web and developers building innovative new experiences. Just over two years ago, the W3C announced the formation of the Web Performance Working Group chartered with two goals: making it easier to measure and understand the performance characteristics of Web applications and defining interoperable methods to write more CPU- and power-efficient applications.
Over the course of these two years, together with Google, Mozilla, Facebook, and other industry and community leaders who participate in the W3C Web Performance Working Group, the working group has designed and standardized eight interfaces that are now widely adopted in modern HTML5-enabled browsers: Navigation Timing, Resource Timing, User Timing, Performance Timeline, Page Visibility, Timing control for script-based animations, High Resolution Time and Efficient Script Yielding. These APIs are supported in Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome, and are great examples of how quickly new ideas can become interoperable standards that developers can depend.
If you are interested in sharing feedback to the Working Group and cannot attend the workshop, you can do so by completing this survey. The deadline for the survey is November 2nd.
Thanks,
— Jatinder Mann, Program Manager, Internet Explorer

Windows 8 will fail in the Enterprise: m.blogs.computerworld.com/.../windows-will-fail-enterprise-warns-gartner I'm sure that if Microsoft had made a Windows 7 version of IE 10 and actually listened to our feedback (for both the browser and the identity crisis OS) then maybe Windows 8 wouldn't be so full of failures! I saw the "lineup" of 20 people at my cities big grand opening release for Windows 8... Considering we are from a city of several million it shows an absolutely terrible response from the public... They don't want Windows 8... No one does. Microsoft should work on Windows 7 - Second Edition.Anonymous

Using IE10 on the Surface, the one thing I'm missing more than anything else is some gesture or area to tap that will jump to the top or bottom of long pages. I sure hope that's planned as an enhancement in an up-coming update...Anonymous

@pmbAustin, please report this bug at connect.microsoft.com/IE. @Will, we have 20,000 employees in our organization, and they all will be using win8 PCs from next week and its just one example... So your hyperthetical assertion is false..Anonymous

What do these comment have to do with Web Performance? You guys have no credibility I hope you realize it. In a real note, I am excited to see how the IE team is taking Web Performance Optimization seriously. There are so many issues and many of them come down to developers not understanding WPO importance to their bottom lines and then how to actually code with it in mind. I am very happy with where IE is today and excited to see where it is going. Please provide more content on how IE optimizes for poorly architected web sites and applications to make the end user experience better.Anonymous

@Dale, there are hundreds of features included in Windows 8. If you aren't really able to acknowledge the performance improvements, the graphics agility, native iso/vhd support, boot from vhd file, GUI based OS boot, extensive drivers support, cloud integration, vast variety of input devices keyboard/mouse/pen/marker/styrlus/touch(capacitive,resistive)/kinect, native HyperV support, BIOS/UEFI update from windows update, set-wireless connection as metered connection (to consume your 3g/4g/hotspot connection intelligently), filesystem support upto 16 ETABYTE with 256TB of maximum filesize, motion sensors ready (gyro,accelarometer,digital compass), first class USB3 support, Internet explorer 10 with bundle of advances in HTML5/CSS3/JS/SVG/WebSocks, development in various languages including C++/C#/F#/Del-Phi/JavaScript, newer PowerShell with tons of new cmdlets, backward compatibility for exe files build for NT3! (1994), and much much more.... all for 40 bucks if you have XP/Vista/7 license or ~170 bucks if you don't... then clearly you are whining. You remind me of a guy who used to convert avi file to mov, delete avi file and then watched mov video .. why because avi was developed by Microsoft guy. Hate makes people do all kind of ugly stuff, no big surprise for me or anyone for that matter.. @Neil, you sound like a fresh software guy to me. Unfortunately, no one ever told you that at Microsoft, they do not use Waterfall model. They use Extreme programming, CMMI and agile methodologies since the inception! I remember it was written in our Software Engineering book and the whole industry knows that. The Start of win8 is running at 60fps, the good news here is it doesn't makes your life difficult at all as all the good ol' shortcuts work! You can type ON Start like you can type on Start Menu in win7: Hit Start > type cmd > hit enter. You get the jump list if you right click at bottom left of the screen, it will give you number of useful shortcuts (System, Task Manager, Windows Features, Event Viewer and whatnot). For a change, give windows 8 a fresh take and make your own (impartial/pure/unbiased) impression.Anonymous

I think it's a testament to the patience of the IE team that they continue to allow comments on their blog at all. Every post just gets filled up with whiney, irrelevant posts.Anonymous

@Nick re: "avi was developed by Microsoft guy" no it was developed by an "Autodesk guy" it was their format first.Anonymous

Sorry, I am off-topic here (like so many others) but the relevant blog’s comments are closed. As we can read here: www.ypolicyblog.com/.../dnt Yahoo will not act upon a DNT header sent by IE10 users. I want to urge Microsoft to create and maintain a TPL that contains any site that violates my preference when deciding to enable DNT at first run of IE10 (either by using express setup or by enabling it manually). Microsoft already has such a TPL for the worst offender to privacy here: ie.microsoft.com/.../google.txt but this does not seem to be enough.Anonymous

@Charles: You made an incorrect assumption in your reading. Let's fix the statement for clarity: "We will release an IE10 Beta and Release Candidate on Windows 7 prior to IE10’s general availability on that operating system."Anonymous

So Microsoft has announced that JavaScript is not a valid platform for Windows Phone development yet it's ok for tablets?! Care to explain what Frankenstein browser mess is actually included in windows phone 8? We know it isn't IE10 and we know that parts were stolen from IE9 code but the word on the street says the core rendering engine is still Trident from the IE6 code stream! Care to explain the whole truth?! Targeting mobile for Windows phone needs to know if IE will be capable or if we need to continue sending IE to the lightweight site because it can't cope yet.Anonymous

I ran a quick survey at work this week about employees that bought a tablet (we have 14,000) on our office. (Just this last week) Those that bought an iPad mini? 7 did, another 12 bought an iPad. 4 bought an android tablet. 2 bought a PlayBook 0 bought a windows surfarce I also asked the remaining if they were planing to buy a tablet before/for Christmas?... 100's said yes... No one wanted to get the surfarce and many went into details why. Needless to say the branding was a huge issue... No one wanted to have a tablet with the name Microsoft anywhere on it. And that's something that billions of advertising dollars won't fix. I highly suggest you drop all none surfarce devices and just call it "surfarce" with the 4 squares... Don't even put the name Microsoft on it except burried somewhere deep in the legal that no one reads... It will likely increase your sales 10 fold. Until then, Santa's sleigh will be completely absent of MS devices.Anonymous

ONE WORLD FROM AN UPSETCUSTOMER IS.....compatibility NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HART! It is because forward thinking, and with that I say it’s not backwards enough, compatibility "e.g. Windows 7, Internet Explorer 8 and Windows 8, Internet Explorer 10" Somewhere in between Internet Explorer 9 and Surface was brought into the picture, and my Internet Explorer 9 is not forward compatible. Also Surface and say a Touch Table browser would not have that compatibility nor would it be needed for a desktop non production or developing environment.Anonymous

I stumbled on that IE10 demo recently: mrdoob.com/.../ie It looks gorgeous on Google Chrome. I can't begin to fathom how great it must run on actual IE10. Godd job guys!Anonymous

I had a 4-5 paragraph comment to make but this blog swallowed it whole! Since I know there has been a bunch of complaints over the years about this blog eating comments I'd just like to add that it got me today. Please get someone to fix this - I will not attempt to post again until it has been fixed - what a waste of time and effort, it's no wonder developers on this blog are so angry with Microsoft! PS I had to copy and paste this 3 times to get it to post!Anonymous
