Comparing dates created with timestamp Date.UTC

Question

I have this code:

var d1 = new Date(Date.UTC(2011, 0, 1));
var d2 = new Date(Date.UTC(2011, 0, 1));

if (d1 == d2) { alert('Equals1'); }
if (d1 === d2) { alert('Equals2'); }
if (d1 < d2)  { alert('d1 < d2'); }
if (d1 > d2)  { alert('d1 > d2'); }

Could someone tell me WHY I can't comparing these two dates? You can run the script here: http://jsfiddle.net/vSL47/

These two dates should be equals, no?

Thanks

For a more simple answer:

if (d1.toString() == d2.toString()) { alert('Equals1'); }

Works
