Every time I see CSS3/HTML5 demos like this, I think "awesome, but what's the IE situation?". I mean that in a honest way, not in a "oh, that probably will never work on IE type of way".
IE9 is supposedly way better than before - will it support stuff like this?
IE introduced expression() in CSS decades ago. Like -webkit-transform, they are both private non-standard way of doing animations. IE4/5/6 even had hardware accelerated 3D graphic and dynamic music support, dHTML was cool before HTML5 coolkids took over.

It’s quite disingenuous to compare CSS transform to expression().
expression() gives you a functional method for defining animations; CSS transforms are declarative. They’re a different thing entirely.
Besides, expression evaluates on mousemove which is horrible for performance: http://blog.dynatrace.com/2010/02/16/the-real-performance-ov...
There are also DXImageTransform filter and VML
CSS 2D Transforms - yes. 3D - nobody knows.
