More - MSDN BlogsIE10 Platform Preview 2, the same HTML5 engine seen in the recent public “Windows 8” demos, is now available for download. With this update, IE10 continues to deliver support for site-ready HTML5 technologies as well as improving performance:
This video shows some of the HTML5 technologies in the second IE10 Platform Preview in action.
With the second Platform Preview, developers can start working with several site-ready HTML5 technologies for building beautiful, interactive Web applications with great performance and security. You can read the full list here in the IE10 developer guide:
IE10 continues IE9’s precedent of enabling Web applications to do more in the browser without plug-ins. It also continues the pattern of offloading work to the parts of a PC that are best suited for them, like the GPU for graphics, and different processor cores for background compilation of JavaScript.
- Beautiful and interactive Web applications are easier to deliver with support for several new technologies like CSS3 Positioned Floats, HTML5 Drag-drop, File Reader API, Media Query Listeners and initial support for HTML5 Forms.
- HTML5 Application performance improves across the board, as well as the ability to deliver better performance with more efficient use of battery life with new technologies like Web Workers with Channel Messaging, Async script support, and others.
- Web application security improves using the same markup with support for HTML5 Sandbox for iframe isolation.

I'm currently typing this in IE 10 preview 2, I say, better job this time around Microsoft! It's rather zippier than IE9, a lot of sites just appear in a couple seconds in its entirety, no waiting a for sixish seconds for a webpage to fully render, it's there!
Praise be teh internetz gods, I finally got a response from the Microsoft servers and am downloading it right now. As with IE9s PPs I will test this one out as much as I can
Looking forward to it :)
EDIT: I am amazed! I assumed that this PP will make use of IE9s cache I deleted everything, including cookies, and just kept the saved passwords. And still, the speed is surpassed all my expectations. Oh, I am gonna have so much fun with this
You can use IE9's UI with the IE10 Preview, here's a guide it still works for IE10 - IE9 Preview 6 available, now with secret Beta UI
