With Windows 8.1, Microsoft has pushed out a revamped version of Internet Explorer that is supposed to be significantly faster than its predecessor, not to mention the fact that it claims to be easier on battery life.

Thanks for the post.

IE11 is finally embracing other features from Chrome and Firefox such as WebGL. I can't wait for the RTM version :)

I don't think they have released a Preview edition for Windows 7, like they did with IE10. It seems that IE11 won't be released to the Windows 7 platform, until it's been sitting on Windows 8 for a while.

Anyway, I might install IE11 just to see what it's like, but I don't think it will replace my Opera.

Do I need a product key to install Windows 8.1 Preview?

If you install Windows 8.1 Preview through the Windows Store, you don't need a product key. If you download the ISO, you'll need to enter this product key: NTTX3-RV7VB-T7X7F-WQYYY-9Y92F.

Hi there
slight correction for TechNet subscribers -- if you download the ISO from TECHNET then you can get a product key via GET KEY button.

The key A.GUY posted might work also -- haven't tried it but the key from TechNet will work properly.

Note also that the ISO is Windows 8.1 PROFESSIONAL -- there isn't a Windows 8.1 ENTERPRISE preview version yet - so if you want a Windows 8.1 "Windows to Go" system you are currently out of luck.

Cheers

Was discarded by previous owner due to "horrible performance".
Was running Win Xp from a IDE drive. Yeah. Was a pain.
SATA II drive and Win7 and it zips away! Yay!
I'll give 11 a try when it is fully released to the general public.

I tried Chrome but the google updater caused recording system audio dropout problems (and spikes on the DPC Latency Checker) on my system, which is also used for my recording studio system. It was a major hassle to get the google updater out of the system as I had to manually edit the registry to remove the multitude of google updater entries.

No, you don't. I downloaded the ISO image from here: Download Windows 8.1 Preview - Microsoft Windows. I prefer installing from USB, so I extracted the files and copied them over to my bootable USB drive. Clean installation from there.

Be sure to make a note of the product key right above the download links. You will need it during installation.

This is exactly why I don't use Chrome. I hated that Chrome has this ambiguous Google updater that buries itself deep in the registry and scheduled tasks, and it acts like a spyware sending every stuff you do to Google servers. It then gives you ads that is relevant to you based on your browsing history.

I only use Chromium, but it's too unstable to be my primary browser. I only used it when certain websites don't like IE.

Chrome, Blech!

I use VMs for the times I'm forced to run crapware (e.g. Adobe programs, Chrome, IE 8, Java, etc.).

I needed to install Chrome for my Web Design course.
When I installed it, it hijacked all of my Internet settings and file associations. :mad:

As a Firefox user, I'd rather run IE 9 or IE 10 than Chrome.
Of course when IE 11 comes out I'll need 4 VMs (one each for IE 8, IE 9, IE 10, and IE 11). :(

I woundn't think of MS following that rapid release scheme. Despite the radical change from 7 to 8, many people (especially the enterprise) still view MS as conservative in terms of browser support. Heck they still patch IE 6 even though it only has probably 0.1% internet browsing usage.
