Why aren`t you using 8 ? 9 sux IMO.

I personally prefer 9 to 8. It totaally ticked me off when M$ made it unavailable for XP.

New browsers should not be used on your main machine for a long time after they are out. A lot of businesses will not upgrade their browsers so 10 might not work with their software. ( Banks ) for example. I`m gonna make an image 1st b4 I give IE10 a shot.

Though I do agree and understand why businesses wait to upgrade, I see no need for individuals to shy away. But this being a preview, I can understand the hesitation. Anyway IE10 isn't that new as to break a lot of the old.

That said, I can tell you I've not had any issues dealing with my banking institution or credit card company online. In short, all is good with https (secure) sites.

I'm also using IE10 on my main machine because it's the one I use all the time. What better way to see if there are problems?

Anyway I know my machine, and I know my capabilities so I wasn't too worried about it "hosing" my system. A good backup helps too.

This is also why I'm a huge proponent of keeping your OS up to date. This way should you need to install something, the system won't break because it's missing key updates.

My two cents.

I'm still dealing with the mess that IE10 left my laptop in--

Installed it and had problems from the get-go...on Facebook, for example, I couldn't get comments to post...they would simply show "Unable to Post Comment." YouTube was the same way. Uninstalled IE10, then was unable to reinstall IE9 without doing a full reinstall of Win 7. I'm sure the problem has something to do with PEBCAK (Problem Exists Between Chair And Keyboard), but I'm staying away from IE10 at this point.

Looks like you're not the only one having a few problems with it. Heres softpedia's take :

IE10 on Windows 7 Breaks Down Aero - Softpedia

I haven't tried it so I have no personal experience.

Like anything new, sometimes things break. There hasn't been a piece of software released to date that didn't initially have issues. That said, I'd like to be a voice that says he hasn't had any issues, yet.

I've watched a couple of YouTube clips since upgrading to IE10, checked secure sites like my banking institution, posted to a few forums, and even checked out my website, which was created with FrontPage 2003, and thus far... all is good. In fact this post is being done under IE10 as I have it on my main machine.

Not saying some can't have problems, I'm sure it does, but you may want to look a little deeper, and be fair before assessing the blame to IE10. If it's IE10, its IE10, just be fair.

And for those that have not tried it but are making judgments anyway... you might try it before casting judgment.

My two cents.

Internet Explorer will ALWAYS be Internet Explorer, widely known for allowing viruses and spy programs without user knowledge or consent, slow and web standard-incompatible.

Although it improved a lot since then, most of it remains and IE is still an inferior choice to Opera, Firefox, Chrome or Safari (choose the one you like the most).

I really don't care at all about this upgrade. Will do sometime, but since don't use it at all, it doesn't impress me.
