All browsers except IE, do that much-less correctly.

In Internet Explorer you should setup that algorithm manually as CSS property.

img { -ms-interpolation-mode:bicubic }

So here is result, screenshot are taken in IE7 with
image scale about 50-60%.

Without algorithm
Bicubic algorithm disabled (default)

Without algorithm
Bicubic algorithm enabled

Read more on MSDN website about this issue.

Enabling interpolation algorithm is useful for any kind of *boxes like Fancy Box, Shadowbox, Light Box, etc…

NB! Enabling algorithms can decrease IE’s performance up 2 times!
Nice joke, BILL!
