IE 10 for Windows 7 SP1 released and available now

Post by SFSxOI »

If you don't see it via windows update you can get it here > http://www.beautyoftheweb.com/download or here > http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/inte ... -languages

The second link gives you the full thing (21.9 MB), the first link is the small web installer utility thing.

IE 10 for Windows 7 with service pack 1

When you install it, after the install reboot you may be prompted for (go ahead and let it reboot), when you get back to the desktop if you look in task manager you will notice (possibly) two instances of 'ie4uinit.exe" running when you start up IE 10. Don't be alarmed, this is the MS per-user customization utility used by IE 10 after its first installed. Simply do another reboot and you probably will not see them again. The new 'Do Not Track' feature is enabled by default in IE 10, if you don't like it you can turn it off in Internet Options > Advanced > under Security > uncheck the box next to it and Apply.
The advantage of a 64 bit operating system over a 32 bit operating system comes down to only being twice the headache.

"We've disabled extensions to make chrome faster" -- except, it disabled extensions I use every day... And they also disabled installation of 3rd party items "not thru" the chrome store "You can't install that from this web page"

But twice in less than a month, it appears to be a habit of chrome now to just do whatever google wants... Considering they make money off my usage (sell ads/aggregate data) you'd think it would leave it up to me to choose what I wanted to disable or uninstall...

I'll give the new IE a try - and maybe jump the the chrome-ship...

I like Chrome, but I had to quit using it due to too many compatibility issues with GMail and YouTube and continual crashing when trying to use those services. FireFox has been working fine for me, and is speedier on YouTube.

Safari is also webkit based, but has the lowest CPU and RAM footprint in all benchmarks. Firefox has the best plugins(tamperdata, firedebug, fireftp etc..)

7 license holders get IE10 but no SP2 :T IE10 renders better and has a sandbox, but only a small demographic use it after a day on a fresh install...

Sheesh! You'd think Google would at least be compatible with themselves, especially when GMail keeps pushing you to switch to Chrome.

I'd probably be using FireFox if I could get RoboForm to work with it as well as it works with IE.

Since I'm still using Windows XP, I'm stuck at IE8, which is OK because I've seen IE9 and didn't like the user interface changes Microsoft made to it. I suspect IE10 is more of the same so I don't much care about it.

You can benchmark your browsers here. IE10 is really fast in the benchmarks compared to Chrome and Safari
in my tests.

I also tried SunSpider benchmark and IE10 wins again. :shock:

Before I use an uncomfortable browser like IE or chrome, I do remain rather with Firefox
and change the Internet Service Provider if the speed to slow :mrgreen:

The problem with IE has always been ActiveX and DOM handling. In web development pretty much all DOM and AJAX stuff has to be handled differently or has bugs that are at least years old, in IE, it's also made up of the native subsystem so security is an issue.
