    Microsoft readies IE 11 for Windows 7, too


    Last Updated: 25 Jul 2013 at 14:04
    Internet Explorer 11 ships by default in Windows 8.1, and a developer preview of the browser for Windows 7 confirms that the older OS won't be left behind -- for now.

    Browser aficionados and haters alike will be overjoyed that Microsoft is keeping its promise to keep the new Internet Explorer up-to-date on Windows 7 as well as Windows 8.

    The Internet Explorer 11 Developer's Preview for Windows 7, which debuted on Thursday, introduces the most of the new features and functionality of the Windows 8.1 default browser.

    Roger Capriotti, Microsoft's marketing director for Internet Explorer, said that, like IE 10 for Windows 7, IE 11 won't have the modern interface, but it will have performance benefits.

    Is there a site to where I can download it from, because I want to give it a try and see if I like it or not and also does this mean Gmail will not be supporting IE9 anymore

    What's the difference between the developer preview and say the consumer/customer preview?

    Thinking about downloading it, but since I'm no developer not sure if they'll be limitations.

    Thanks.

    Hello Drew,

    It's basically this below for the difference before the final RTM version is released. :)

    developer preview = beta 1

    consumer/customer preview = beta 2

    Thanks Shawn :)

    Yeah that answers the question. I think I'll wait for the customer preview.

    lol I believe it's more Microsoft's relying on wishful thinking that one version has got to be user friendly so push-breath-push.. like giving birth

    Yeah, IE11 in Windows 8.1 has a few minor compatibility glitches in it still that will hopefully get worked out by the RTM.
