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.

Some folks have found that un-installing KB2670838 has reversed the transparency/dream Codec problems.

My thanks to the folks who appreciate the posts. :)

I have been using IE10 since I got Windows 8 Preview (and now Windows 8 Pro). I could not post to any forum on WC in IE10. After searching for a solution (I read somewhere) that tracking protection(s) like Abine could be the problem. So I disabled Abine, restarted IE10 and magic! Since then if I want to post on WC I just disable Abine and turn it back on when I finish posting. I have had no other problems with IE10. I like it, it is fast, stable, and nice to use.

If anyone knows how to fix the double preview thumbnails on WC home page, let me know.

 

It's the only problem I see.

Actually? It's the only problem you see double. ;)

 

If you use Mozilla (ff, Pale Moon) or Chrome what you see is a reflection. In IE that reflection is rendered without the gradient, therefore appearing opaque or "double".

The "problem" is the rendering of the Forum code for that gradient. If there were no gradient and just a simple image, there wouldn't be a "problem" at all.

Ahhhhh...ok, then that explains it. I was baffled as to why that problem was occuring.

The main product I work with is an online product requiring IE.  Needless to say, I had MANY clients calling today to ask why the product looked and acted different.  IE10 just automatically downloaded and installed and nobody in IT gave them the heads-up.

 

PITA it has been.

It's happening because of the Forum Matrix.

I was just over at the Winamp Forums. Everyone is just livid over the issue of IE 10 disabling Shoutcast Radio. It's frustrating I know. I would love to continue to use IE 10 but I love & use my Shoutcast Radio way too much to make that sacrifice. I hope the folks at Winamp create an upgrade soon to resolve the issue.        -- Ace --

Microstuff seems to be creating an atmosphere similar to Apple's where the only apps and/or hardware have to be MAC approved and third party stuff gets the boot. Oh well.....maybe we'll see an Android OS for desktops and such. That'd be cool I think.

1 What does WinRT have to do with IE10?

2 WinRT has absolutely nothing to do with hardware.

Perhaps IE10 is Microsoft's "I'm sorry" for making Win8?

Tool to set a registry setting to prevent autoupdate. That way your computer is spared this latest version.

Odd.  The IE10 update comes up in the 'Important updates' list but is unchecked by default.  Win7 Pro 64b.  I'm set to 'notify' before D/L'ing any updates, FWIW.

Can't install on my laptop either. Says it needs SP1 or higher.

Answer to #1 - Never said one had anything to do with the other.

To #2 - Didn't say that either.

Given all the to do with IE and Win8, one works not all the time and the other is getting a bad rap before its really out there, is it any wonder Microsoft seems to be going that way. There's the MS Store like the Apple Store, third party apps go home. MS wants IE to be 'the' browser. Like Apple does with Safari. Apple is basically proprietary. MS looks like its going the same way. That's what I meant.
