There is different syntax for some browsers as they have not implemented the final completed spec of that feature. W3c will release a preview of what standards there will be and the browsers will use a prefix to implement the the feature until the final specifications are released.

IE 10 and 11 use the standard spec so you do not need a prefix but if you are using an older version of IE you will have to find another way to get a gradient as they did not implement css gradients.
