Mere support for CSS transforms is actually really limited. What IE9 and Firefox 4 do on Windows 7 is accelerate all drawing and layer compositing. What it means is that as the browsers gain support for CSS animations and such, they get accelerated for free. Stuff like Canvas and SVG also get accelerated.
