What is so great about IE 10, I haven't tried the beta yet nor had much chance to use it in Windows 8 preview so lets try and find out.
Pointers:
Full hardware acceleration. (Should be a lot quicker on computers with mid to high end graphics cards)
Better HTML 5 and CSS3 compatibility and features.
Only available for Win 7 and 8.
Two versions in Win 8, the new touchscreen "Metro" and the standard "Desktop" version.
Some of the off topic chat in the videos gets annoying, try to skip that ;)

I think its looks interesting and it is tempting to download the beta preview for Windows 7 but so far I haven't risked it.
Please feel free to add your experiences, if any, and/or thoughts about it or indeed any other videos you can find about it.
I like how a new tab shows blocks of frequent websites :thumbsup:

Really ? I wonder were I saw that before ;D
HTML5 needed a lot of work I read, so looks like they are working on the right things.
I can't make fair comment as I haven't tried it out...just don't know if I really need to change much in my usual programs really...so the desire is not there. I'll try it some time when they
finish copying catch up with Chrome ;)
Sorry I am feeling grouchy :LOL:
P.S. I think Chrome had hardware acceleration for some time now..
Darn I am turning into a Chrome fan boy.

yea really :P I only use FF and only use IE for website testing. FF new tabs are blank, and IE only had a search bar previously. :scratch-head: So if they robbed it from say another browser, I would not know.

No worries Freddy, Just take care and get better ;D
Haha, yeah well I was just being cheeky, as MS pinched that new tab feature from Chrome. I guess it happens all the time, and is somewhat flattering to Google in a way.
Thanks for the well wishes :)
Copying someone is a form of flattery ;D

your welcome.
back on topic now :P
the metro IE I found that I don't like using it on my laptop. it is stripped down to a point that makes it not viable for a laptop, nor desktop. for a tablet or similar device I guess it would be okay, but I don't have one to really justify that statement. the metro version of IE however did load pages rather promptly though. appears to be faster than the desktop version, Note: I have not done any speed test to confirm.
I've heard we can expect to see IE 10 for windows 7 on the 26th of October.
It will only be available to Win 7 and 8. No Vista or XP support.
NOTE to Freddy:
Stick to Chrome :)
:LOL: Surely it can't be that bad.. ?
Having played Grepolis (a browser game) I am now a fan of Chrome. The java support is soooo much better. IE9 was annoying.
Welcome into the light Snowy ;D
IE 10 has finally been released for Windows 7, I've installed it and am using it now, too early to give any opinions on it other than it is working and it has a built in spell checker which might come in handy.
Download IE 10 (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-GB/internet-explorer/downloads/ie-10/worldwide-languages)
Done, thanks matey. :thumbsup:
Good show :) , is the spell check working for you Diesel? It is for me, checking my spelling as I type it in here, nice little feature that, some might say "about time" a Chrome user for instance :LOL:
Just for a bit of fun you can test drive IE10 and some of its features:

I had forgotten about the chat room sounds not working, let me check ...
No joy, they don't seem to work :(
Ok, noted.
I think the spell checker is working here Data, it high lights a spelling mistake but I cant seemed to find, other than manually, how to remedy the misspelling. :scratch-head:
With chrome you right click on the word and select the right one.
Yes it's the same in IE, right click the word with the wiggly line under it.
Thanks Freddy, you were spot on, now where is the on/off button for this thing. :LOL:
Spell checker is a nice feature, but tends to get me in trouble at times :P exp when not paying attention to what word selected
I'll download and install it, but I won't be using it other than for website testing. :P

Have installed IE10. Looks good but they've gone back to square corners.
Is it just me or does the mandelbrot set thing work for anyone else? Just a blank square for me.

Don't work for me either, just a white bit where the pattern should be.
The smileys window needs attention, Data.
Everything is a little small at the top. Does scale up though.
