What about real text or something other than just a canned webpage? Like, for example, the front page of the Times or something.
The NYT doesn't use the canvas element for it's front page - which is what this test is all about (even though it isn't very explicit about it).
Not having the source available screams rigged test to me. Edit: If only because I remember what they tried to do with this chart - http://www.microsoft.com/windows/internet-explorer/compare/d...
Glad to see Microsoft getting on board with browser development and giving Mozilla, Google and Apple some competition. I love Microsoft technology and when they put their minds to it, they do get it right I feel.
This is exactly why I love competition. Now if only there was a possibility for a truly windows alternative. As in runs all windows apps. Competition = forces everyone to innovate, even Microsoft. I still have a prediction that in 3 years Microsoft will rise again.

It looks like they were basing these comparisons on a Canvas based rendering of this PDF: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/529041/22860302-Yellowstone-NP.pdf

All of the text is rendered with the canvas .fillText command and there are no bitmap images…everything is either text or drawn to the canvas with vectors. The NYT doesn't use the canvas element for it's front page - which is what this test is all about (even though it isn't very explicit about it).
