Bass Schouten is a cool name, and the Mozillan has presented Direct2D hardware acceleration.
You have to grab Firefox nightly, do the about:config / gfx.font_rendering.directwrite.enabled game, but then you get to see it in action.
IE9 showed off how they will support hardware rendering, and I am sure we will see more at MIX, but it is very cool to see this across the board.
CSS Transforms/Transitions/Animations are going to feel like butter in 2010!
