Internet Explorer 10
Windows 7 users (and 2008 R2), now's the preview.
Download here. Took them long enough, huh? Feels like a small part of Windows 8 in a Windows 7 world, but with ClearType intact. Last edited by Twiggy; November 13, 2012 at 08:24:25 AM. |

I've used it since I got my new laptop. I think it's a great step up, and I'm finally starting to appreciate the multiple taskbar button per tab thing. It's convenient for opening up a specific tab when you want it to. And currently, it's been failing a loooot less times than Chrome.

After a while using it, I find Internet Explorer 10 to handle really fancy websites much better than IE9 or Chrome. Chrome likes to choke on anything without a beefy enough CPU, while IE9 is aging at this point - it was fast, but it couldn't handle script-heavy sites or render more advanced effects.
Besides, I prefer the IE10 Desktop interface more than Chrome by a long shot - I find Chrome's interface to be too clunky compared to Firefox, Opera, and definitely IE. Taskbar sites don't hurt, either, and previews. Also, nice bonus: if connection was dropped for whatever reason and it causes pages to break, as soon as you get a working Internet connection again, all such pages will refresh. |

Oh, if anyone is curious why the Metro version of IE10 is so fast, there are two key reasons:

Oh, I was just about to say "The why does YouTube work? " And speaking of YouTube, it's not put to sleep if another video is playing. If I switch to a new tab then the video will continue playing in the background. At least that answers my questions as to why I couldn't see a video embedded here. |
