IE 10 Released to General Public Today

from JoeUser Forums

 

MS has released IE 10 – probably in the hope that it will win back folks who’ve migrated to Firefox and Chrome. Wanna bet?

Currently Firefox holds 20% and Chrome holds 17% of the browser market while IE (all editions) holds about 55%.

Since IE10 was tied to W8, it’s exposure has been limited (apart from the “preview”). Since W8 is only at 2.3%, MS is releasing IE 10 to try and compete independently from W8.

Download link:  http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/download-ie

And watch out for the little check box “I would like Bing and MSN defaults”. You’ll have to uncheck that on the download page if you don’t want them.

Using IE 10 now but I see no difference as far as page loading is concerned, but that's my net connection. I see all the buttons and no view edits buttons but....I had to refresh the page twice. Actually three times as the first time it refused to refresh. The second time it was incomplete. Page stopped loading with this forum page half finished. Now its working. I'll play with it a little bit and see how it goes. And it still won't be my default browser even though it is completely skinned. Oh...when I click on view and the toolbars the progress bar is checked, I like to see what its doing, but no progress bar shows up.

I switched back to FF. Believe it or not Firefox scrolls a helluva lot faster than IE and on the home page...the preview skins are cut in half, the bottom half is on top and vice versa. The same for the new uploads. And IE is still butfugly!

Oh goody. What starts out as a nice informative announcement by the good Dr turns in to a "My browser has a bigger penis than your browser" hijack.

Unfortunately since IE8 isn't going anywhere yet, it's just one more version to support.

IE10 is damn good for a change.  I haven't been arsed to switch back from it to Chrome at all.

True, but that's your decision.  Google already told IE8 users to piss off.

It actually shocked me anyone was actually willing to take a stance on supporting browsers until the end of time.

I installed IE10 and it causes Areo transparency to stop working. Or more to the point update KB2670838 that gets installed with IE10 breaks Areo. I don't know if it only happens with people that have windowblinds installed.

No problem here after installing IE 10. I had to see how fast it was out of curiosity. Nearly as fast as Chrome on my machine, about the same as Firefox.

Good info.  Thanks.

For myself, the forums (coming from Sins) have slowly become an absolute mess over time...no quote/reply/edit buttons are appearing, the layout of things (text, avatars) is really screwy and some pages (my replies) are completely unreadable...

I understand that it takes time and is a pain to support multiple (and new) browsers, but IE10 has been out since the end of October...

That's 4 months...

I find it rather concerning that a company who specializes in windows product doesn't have a website compatible with IE10...what bothers me more is that it was compatible, and now isn't after "updates"...

Thanks for the link Doc.  I'm happily using IE10.

Said it before. These forums would be better if they were based on vBullentin software.

Reply #46 from WinCustomize Forums Top

Ah yea. Firefox/NoScript plugin is about all I ever use.

Reply #47 from WinCustomize Forums Top

I can't get IE 10 to install on my laptop.  Maybe I'm fortunate.

Reply #48 from WinCustomize Forums Top

I had to uninstall  IE10. My Shoutcast Radio in Winamp stopped working and I lost transparency on window frames. Went back to IE9 and everything is working again......hmmm...that says something to me.       -- Ace ---

I uninstalled the Platform update from a few days ago and IE10 installed ok. I hope I don't regret it.  :(

Reply #50 from WinCustomize Forums Top

I do appreciate the informative posts and the other kind, well, no one cares what browser you use.

If one gives 10 a test drive and decides to go back to 8 can that be done. TOL, maybe a simple restore point would work?
