It means in a browser with a rendering engine made for that one platform, and not made more generically for cross-platform support.

That is the most charitable reading, and how even that reading is supposed to be meaningful is beyond me. Basically, since MS can't demonstrate in any meaningful way that their not-cross-platform engine does anything better, they're offering up "it runs better because it's made for Windows" as a truism.




"IE - Not Available Outside Windows!"

That's all the "native" label means, unless they can show that by making it "native," they get better performance than cross-platform browsers.
