Having H.264 support means IE9 will be able to render MP4 video in-browser without Flash, much like Chrome, Safari, and Opera can. It will also support embedded audio like MP3 and AAC without needing to use plugins. I'm quite excited about what this means for the internet; IE is often seen as the least common denominator, and web development rarely seems to incorporate things that IE can't support.
