1314696 2012-11-25 17:48:00 I have Windows 7 and 8 and I put IE10 on my Windows 7 just because I want to keep up with the times however I really don't see any difference and if you do please let me know or maybe a good tutorial? Now on my Windows 8 I'm reading the chapter on IE10 and again I just don't see how it is going to benefit me. I'm an old man and I am sure I'm missing something that someone can point out. I don't want to be left behind but I don't want to spend hours on something I know or won't use. Please let me know what you think? lostsoul62 (16011)
1314697 2012-11-25 19:15:00 My advice - download something other than ie. The latest Firefox is good, though chrome and opera are both good choices as well. Nick G (16709)
1314698 2012-11-25 19:25:00 I downloaded Internet Explorer 10, it worked for a few days but now when loading it fails to load the home pages and locks up.

I am now back to using Firefox with no problems.

1314699 2012-11-25 19:39:00 I'm using IE10 no problems. I'm just a basic user don't do anything fancy with it. The only thing I have noticed is that it has a built in spell checker which is automatically activated apoun installation.

1314700 2012-11-25 20:27:00 IE10 has better support for HTML5 (browser-based form validation being the one I've noticed :D), which is good. pcuser42 (130)

1314702 2012-11-25 22:05:00 The whole "which browser is better" question never interested me much, it seems more like anti MS sentiment more than anything to me. I've played with FF, Chrome and IE out of interest but generally I just stick with whatever the windows default is. It works and I see no need to clutter my machine up with multiple browsers. I read a lot of comments about which has better security or addons or standards compliance and I don't care about any of it, As long as I can get the websites I want and they work it's all good from my perspective. I'll upgrade to IE10 when it auto updates and not before, IE9 is fine.

I think the people who care the most are people who create and maintain websites, if they all comply to the same standards life would no doubt be much easier. As an end user though that doesn't matter to me. If you prefer the look or feel or the available addons for one particular browser use that one, I'll stick with IE

1314704 2012-11-27 22:24:00 IE10 for Windows 7 is not even a released final product, it is only released for Windows 8. I'd recommend waiting for it to go final release for Windows 7 before upgrading to it. nmercer (3899)
1314705 2012-12-04 08:22:00 I am using the IE10 pre-release on my Win 7 machine but I when I try to add add-ons such as Google Search accelerator all I get is 'No results found' does anyone have any idea why? Erger (10062)
