In my case, I've got it blocked to avoid downloading it before the worst of the bugs are fixed. Once they are fixed, then I'll manually download it.

They are still fixing bugs for IE 9 so you are going to have a long wait. FWIW it is a tad faster than 9 but looks the same.

So? What's new? I said the worst of the bugs, not all of them. I'm expecting them to be sufficiently sorted out within 3-12 months.

Good, I hope it works out for you, I never intended to use it anyway. Just wanted to see the difference between 9 and 10. IE 10 is about 2 ms faster loading than 9. Other than that I will stay with 9. Unless I decide to remove it as I hardly ever use it.

What are you including in "bugs". I still get updates for IE-8 that might be considered bugs. When I tried IE-9 I didn't like the ribbon format and went back to IE-8. After working with Word and Excel with the ribbon, it kind of grows on you. I may give IE-10 a try but I'll wait at least three months. That should gives MS a chance to bring it up to date against the holes/cracks that are already known. I wonder if MSE will get another update with the release of IE-10?

Just removed IE 10 from my laptop as Adobe SVG plug in wont work with it.

I have a older program originally designed for XP that need's both IE & Adobe SVG plug in to run correctly, IE 9 ran both fine, IE 10 won't run Adobe SVG so no diagrams from the program are visable.

I've rolled back to IE 9.

The program needs an update by its developer, it is behind on the latest image rendering software.

I just created a backup OS image and installed IE10.

It performs exactly the way I expected it to.
As Luke Skywalker said, "What a piece of junk."

As I feared, it totally hosed my Freecorder Toolbar.
Every button, regardless of its label, is now an update to the latest (useless) version.

The "Welcome to IE10" page crashed, after I clicked away and returned.

I'm off to re-image my W7 partition.
