IE reborn: Internet Explorer 10 arrives on Windows 7

Should be fun

Since I only use IE for Windows Updates I don't really care. That said I'll probably install it just to see what the fuss is about (over hyped I'm sure).

BTW gotta love C/Net's "download link" (in the article). That just takes you to a page of all browser downloads and I don't see IE10 there. Microsoft doesn't have it on their download site (yet). Nothing on Windows Update either.

For those that care here's an actual working download link.

For manual Install, IE 10 W7 Platform Update might be a requirement or it's a requirement better to let WU sort it out.

Reminder: in IE10 Do Not Track is turned on by default.

Will they allow it to run on WXP too? Or may be they prefer to wait until everyone on that platform will move on and replace it with other browsers (Firefox, Iron, Opera, etc). The latter is not a winning strangely, IMHO.

WinXP?

No, IE10 is for Win8 (and now Win7) only. Win2k is stuck with IE6, WinXP with IE8 and Vista with IE9.

They changed the icons so that both are identical for IE10-32 and IE10-64. Not only that but I used to have both in the start menu but did not use the 64 bit version as some web sites did not work right with it. Now looking at both I can not see which is which except by opening them from their program folder. It took a bit of playing around and now I have the 32 bit IE in the taskbar and the 64 bit in the start menu. I could not get them to both go to both places let alone tell which was which by looking at the icon.

For those kicking the tires, deselect BING and MSN defaults, right out of the box.

Boy, will I ever have a learning curve. Still don't have Win 7!

Nor will you be able to (easily) It's all Win8 now (ask Mele20 ).

Perhaps. Anything after and including WinXP requires "activation" so one must be very careful to ensure that a genuine and unused key is provided.

I've thought about getting a genuine retail version (have Dell OEM's) of WinXP off eBay but frankly I don't trust that I'l get anything other than a CD (which I already have).
