IE10 on Windows 7 available in November

The problem with IE10 is that there are many file types it refuses to run for security reasons.

This is giving me fits when doing things like trying to update my routers firmware which does not work with IE10, I also can't use my .gws file to reinstall my routers settings. I've also noticed that IE10 will not even download a gadget file, I'm using the RP so I still have my gadgets.

I may be sticking to IE9 for a long time to come on my Windows 7 machines.

The security on these new browsers is great but when you can no longer do basic tasks it's time to rethink what the hell we are doing here.

I saw a notice about this the other day, not here, and thought I'd like to try it, I'm using IE9 at present and like that so we'll just have to wait and see if 10 is better or not.

Same here. I learned a long time ago to wait and see before adopting new technology and then adopt it only if it improves the quality of life for me or I'm forced to due to obsolescence.

Like ie9 and will be watching ie10 reviews.

With IE 10 being available in Windows 7, there's no more reason for me to upgrade to Windows 8 for my laptop. I'll probably dual boot Windows 8 and 7 on my Surface Pro when I get it next year.

Hi there
Hope it's the "Classic version" which is fine -- not that Nightmare Full screen Metro version backported to W7.

Cheers
