Re: IE reborn: Internet Explorer 10 arrives on Windows 7

Just installed it and I must admit I like it. Although it froze while importing my Firefox bookmarks and had to close it out using the task manager. How can you tell if it installed the 32 or 64 bit version? It does not mention this info under "about Internet Explorer".

Look in the program files folder and the program files86 folder.

So far I reeeealy like it. To me it looks and feels like a highly polished IE9!
EDIT: The built in spell checker is cool. Purposely mistyping a few wrong words with extra or not enough letters and IE10 corrects it on the fly! Others are simply underlined for review. Very nice!

Ever heard of auto-correct fail? It's a common problem on smartphones, but you should able to turn that off. I've found many dictionaries are missing words spelled correctly, or terminology in many fields. This can lead to embarrassing situations if you don't proofread every message.

Thanks for the reply. I'm using x64 but and I downloaded the x64 bit installer. But since i don't use IE at all i just wanted to make sure.
