I have been using IE-10 pre release since middle of november.
I will give it nothing but praise and would recommend it to everyone.
I also use Opera 12.14 but find IE-10 is faster.
Seems like alot of you are afraid of IE.
Why???
I'm not necessarily afraid of IE...I use IE9 right now, and will use IE10 when it comes out officially. I used the preview release for a while, but I'm still having issues from it (mainly with the Bing search toolbar, but they're still frustrating.) I just wish Microsoft would get IE10 final for Win 7 out, already!! :)
I don't have ANY toolbars installed - in any of the browsers I use - I learned early that they tend to screw the pooch much to easily and much too often. (Yahoo Companion in XP anyone?)

XD... I wish you luck... I used that OS long time ago... and to maintain performance and reduce BSODs to minimum, I had to defrag every week... sounds silly, but worked for me...
and by minimum BSODs I talk about 1 per 2 weeks...

Final finished version downloaded today.
Every setting transferred from RC version flawlessly.
I looked pretty hard and could find no difference.
I guess that they just did minimal changes for the final take, but seems as fast as RC... but compared to IE9, is really faster

FWIW Win ME wasn't IE 6 (that was XP)
Me provided IE 5.5 and was upgradable to IE 6 SP1.
Hi there
ever tried WIN/286 -- now that was a real OS !!! and the only sort of internet you could get was via BBS'es and if you were lucky a hit and miss dial up system using a HAYES Modem connecting at 1200 Baud. or even an Acoustic coupler -- anybody remember those --screenshot enc. This device worked at about the speed of thick molasses.
A bit later a TEXT only browser was available -- although I never tried it apparently it worked quite well.

Flash from the past! That was the first version of Windows I purchased along with a 1200Baud modem! Those were the days - not!
