Internet Explorer 10 helps you get content from the web faster and easier, and helps provide a web browsing experience that is safer than ever.

It also comes as an automatic update if people are too lazy to follow the link.

To be honest, that's the way I found out about IE10 on my copy of win7, it came as an automatic update, still you can download it manually

I'm confused. Wasn't it already on 8 or was that beta?

IE10 is embedded into windows 8. Now they've made it available for windows 7 SP1 as well.

It has been on Windows 8. But it is now additionally available on Windows 7.

Thank you. I rotate browers depending on the application/site.

Indeed, some sites just work better with IE, others with FF (Watefox in my case) and yet others in Opera.

Well, they claim it is faster and safer when compared to IE9. This comes as no surprise, since IE10 is an improvement over IE9.

I should add that many websites and a lot if internet content is specifically developed for better use on Internet Explorer (this is a common case in Italy).

No offence, but that's kind of obvious - they've got to sell their new product somehow.

Any independent comparisons out there?

Have you tried hitting F12 while on IE10 and switching the "Browser mode" to a previous IE version?

IE9 is ancient at this point.

More importantly the CSS3 stuff(huge), indexedDB, requestAnimationFrame,Websockets(huge),Webworkers, File API, async script loading.

Top ones that could drastically increase page speed/loading if you losers weren't on IE9.

Webworkers,
Async Script loading
IndexedDB

IE9 doesn't even support placeholders or text-shadows. What a joke. You guys are getting js pollyfills when you go to websites. Good luck.

I installed ie10. Slightly faster page loading. Links open in new tabs faster. I have yet to discover any web pages that don't work on IE10. Any examples ?

And I noticed that when I have WoW dx11 mode running in background (it can peak at 1.2gb memory and I have 4gb rams), Foobar2000 and 2 tabs in IE9 would give me Memory Low message from windows 7. Now it takes longer to give me that message, around 3-4 tabs.

I'm just gonna grab it as I would any other update, I can only think of one use case where I would actually use IE.

I almost never use IE, just for old, horribly coded web pages that won't render on a standards-compliant browser. For everything else, I use 64-bit Firefox. But if Microsoft has a new version out, I'm going to get it because Heaven knows IE needs any improvements it can get.

In before all the web apps that break when people upgrade to this.

Though I talking more my current workplace...we still are required to SQA test on IE 7 because there are some applications that must be ran on IE7. I haven't seen them personally, but they affect everything I do with their stipulation. I can see the auto upgrade coming across too.
